He didn't lie either.

Just now, when Shi Ling changed, he felt that his original energy level had improved a lot again, even exceeding the increase caused by absorbing the afterimages of consciousness twice before.

It's like changing his destiny and opening up a new future line will also be of great help to his original energy training.

He even felt that even without this kind of leap-forward growth, he would be able to touch the threshold of an original master within a hundred years.

And he was sure that this was not his illusion.

You know, even in history, it took his son Shen Li, who is known as the greatest hero of mankind, almost three hundred years to become a master of original energy, and the time it took Gongchu in front of him The longer it is, so you can imagine how much growth he has gained in these changes to the future.

"Actually, the afterimage of consciousness is not a profound original energy technology. Its difficulty mainly lies in the toughness and strength of the will..." Gongchu really started to explain.

Shen Shi even tried it on the black market.

This technique gave him a feeling that was somewhat similar to multitasking, but it was more thorough, and it was like personality differentiation. He differentiated into a sub-personality that was completely consistent with his main personality, and could completely differentiate himself. After being separated, it maintains a certain degree of autonomy and remains under the strict control of the master's personality. It can even be taken back with just a thought.

The whole process is indeed extremely difficult.

Shen Shi did not succeed in the end.

However, he did feel that he was not too far behind.

"I didn't expect that the clan leader would have such strength." Gongchu looked at Shen Shi and did not hide his surprise. "It seems that within a hundred years, the clan leader will be able to truly control the entire clan."

"It's still a long time."

"Not long." Gongchu shook his head, "It is estimated that within three hundred years, the war with the Daikes will still be in the stage of comprehensive defense."

Shen Shi was stunned and quickly reacted.

"Are you ready for a protracted war?"

"Yes, this is very likely to be a war that will last for thousands of years." Gongchu said, "At least this is the current strategy. Although the technological development of the Dyke civilization has basically stagnated, it does not mean that they will There is absolutely no development. At this stage, we are far from being our opponents. If the Dyke people had other battlefields and could not devote all their energy to the war with us, we would not even have much ability to resist... ..."

Following Gongchu's explanation, Shen Shi also roughly understood the reason.

The war between C-level civilization and C-level civilization is not as simple as the war between cross-level civilizations.

Even for the Dyke civilization, it would be difficult for them to launch a crushing attack on human civilization using large-scale weapons. This would cause them to lose on other fronts and even endanger the entire civilization.

They can only use their own intelligence collection and analysis to activate troops with a high probability of victory. However, this is based on the fact that the intelligence collection is correct and no unexpected things will happen.

Obviously, Gongchu's promotion to the master of original energy was completely beyond accident.

Dykes did the assessment.

The remaining cultural heritage collected by human civilization today is simply not enough to promote any of the strong ones among them.

But how could they have expected the return of the Shen clan.

This makes the war that could have been basically crushed become evenly matched, and when the Dyke civilization further increases its support, it will take at least a hundred years. During this time, human civilization will only be able to pass the collector and fight from ancient times. Get more development and trump cards in this land.

This is the core strategy of the entire long-term war.

Relying on a steady stream of rapid development to compete with the Daik Civilization for the winning rate, until the strength of the two gradually reaches a balance.

"The Romance of Fairy Wood"

The moment we truly defeat the Dyke civilization is when humans reach the top of the C-class civilization.

It took the Dyke Civilization almost four thousand years to get itself to this stage from just entering the C-level. It is not an exaggeration to say that it took humans thousands of years to fight this war that included development.

After hearing this, Shen Shi could only sigh.

However, he didn't seem to be of much help.

During the period of time he stayed in the black market, he had realized that this future line could no longer be changed by the past. It seemed to have become a truly independent timeline. Everything that had happened here had no bearing on it. For them, it is a definite past.

Just that...

That also means that the accumulation and gains I have made here have also been preserved.

Yes.

Shen Shi suddenly realized that this was just like a reasonable logic for him to change the past.

After all, if this timeline completely disappears, then all the transactions he made in the past will no longer exist in the concept of the future, and will be trapped in time disputes. But now, all transactions are still preserved. All the changes made in the past will be completely solidified with the solidification of this timeline.

Shi Ling... is definitely a pretty mature product for changing time.

It simply encompasses the entire universe under its influence and influence.

I really don’t know how powerful the civilization that can create such a device is.

Shen Shi stopped sighing because the distance was too far away.

After leaving the future line he named Universe No. 1, Shen Shi once again looked at the second future line opened up this time.

Obviously, this future line is his real future in the current world.

There is still a black market there.

"Doesn't this mean that I have two worlds where I can trade... I don't know what the future will be like." Shen Shi chose to enter with a faint expectation.

However, this time, brand new information popped up.

"Please confirm the shape."

Confirm the shape?

Shen Shi was stunned.

This is different from the previous black market! There was no such thing in the black market before.

Either the real face or anonymity.

How to determine that? Surely not my true appearance? But what about modified bodies? But he doesn't know what a conventional modified body should look like in this future world.

If you choose the wrong one, wouldn’t it look too conspicuous?

In the end, Shen Shi chose a human image.

He believes that no matter how things change in the future, there will definitely be people who retain this external image engraved in their genes.

Primitives must exist.

However, Shen Shi normalized his appearance. Apart from better skin and better figure, his appearance was not too outstanding - this was because he did not understand the aesthetics of the future world.

"Whether to turn on the emotion transmission blocking function (note: not turning it on may cause your true emotions to be leaked)."

"Turn on." Shen Shi quickly made a decision.

Obviously, this is another anonymous function.

The only difference is that the colorful light in the No. 1 Future Line terminal is transformed into a "skin" that can be set independently. In this case, it can also play a role in true anonymity.

"Please register your marketing name." This is the new prompt.

It's also something that didn't exist before.

Shen Shi thought for a while and named it: "Antique Dealer"

"Welcome to the high-end human market, I wish you can trade items that you are satisfied with." This is the last message.

It has been determined that in this new future line, the procedures within the black market will definitely change.

It is even possible that the person who initially obtained the black market subject in this future line is not the same person as the person who initially obtained the black market subject in the No. 1 future line.

Shen Shi adjusted his mood well.

Then, he felt his consciousness being guided into a space, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

This point is the same as before.

However, when he saw everything in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Because he didn't appear on the street at all!

Instead, he appeared in a square!

Yes, the square!

Looking at it, the entire square is quite large, at least not much smaller than the most famous People's Square in Dongguo. The architectural style of the entire square is completely based on the architectural style of the modern squares of the Dixing period.

Shen Shi even saw white tiles under his feet.

It is absolutely impossible to say that the future world will still be constructed using ceramic tiles.

Of course, the first thing he paid attention to was still the other people.

There are not many people in the square, but not too few. In addition to the strange and very different costumes, most of them have human appearances, and a few have undergone obvious modifications, such as the tall armors on the right. .

Some people's clothes are even very ordinary clothes from different periods of the Earth Star Era.

Therefore, Shen Shi's appearance at this time is not surprising here.

This gave him a sigh of relief.

I was able to look around more easily.

The first thing that caught Shen Shi's attention was a huge bronze statue in the center of the square.

Clearly a man.

This man is wearing a modern trench coat, with a straight back and arms stretched out facing forward. In front of the man is a bronze planet that is slowly rotating. It is easy to see from the distribution of the land that it is the blue planet. Star, the entire sculpture looks like a man preparing to embrace the planet, holding it up and protecting it.

The meaning is already obvious.

The position where Shen Shi was standing at the moment was just to the side. However, looking at the man's profile and body shape, Shen Shi had a strong sense of sight.

Could it be...

Shen Shi slowly walked to the middle of the statue.

He raised his head and was speechless for a long time.

Sure enough, this familiar appearance was not his own.

There is also a sentence engraved on the base below the sculpture.

It is the standard Dongguk block letters.

"Pay tribute to the founder of Xinghai Company, the changer of human destiny, the great sage, Mr. Shen Shi."

The founder of Xinghai Company...Does Xinghai Company still exist now?

Who is managing it?

Your own offspring?

Speaking of which, it seems that he still hasn't lived to see three thousand years later.

This is certain, and it is also one of the key pieces of information Shen Shi obtained from Shi Ling's changes. That is, no matter which timeline he is on, he is the only one who truly owns Shi Ling. , or even the Shenshi in any other world line is essentially just an afterimage of his consciousness. In other words, if he is still alive in this future line, no matter in this universe He can feel it anywhere.

It can even take back all the other party's memories in an instant.

But since there is no such thing, it means that he is already dead.

"I hope it won't be another sacrifice..." Shen Shi finally raised his head and looked at his statue and thought, "But at least, my appearance remains, and there is such a statue in a place like the black market. Sculpture, this is enough to illustrate the emotions of humans in the future world towards me."

He already had a premonition.

In this brand new future, the development of human civilization is probably much better than in the No. 1 future.

The black market in front of us is the best proof.

Compared with the street in the previous black market, which only had one or two hundred storefronts, it was much more prosperous!

He looked around.

In the four directions of this square, there are four streets with different styles.

One of them is obviously the ancient style of the Eastern Kingdom.

It has red bricks, green tiles, pavilions and cornices, and is quite luxurious and even resplendent. He can guarantee that no ancient dynasty would have been able to build such a street, but its style is indeed a traditional style. , only showing prosperity and luxury.

The other street is clearly in the style of the Nick Empire, with white palaces, high domes, and extensive use of decorations such as fountains, Roman columns, sculptures, spiers, and octagonal rooms. The style is extremely obvious. .

The third street has an obvious Ximeng style.

Brown tall buildings, tall bell towers, and towering chimneys. Shen Shi even saw an ancient church in an obvious location.

As for Article 4, it's quite mixed.

At a cursory glance, Shen Shi saw that Japanese-style buildings were adjacent to ancient Roman buildings. These four streets seemed to be a mixture of some subcultures.

Four streets, or more appropriately four blocks, each demarcate an area of ​​about a quarter.

Although I was not able to overlook the entire black market, I could already confirm from what I saw in the central square that this was no longer just a trading street in Future Line 1.

Rather, it is a trading town.

A town that could easily accommodate tens of thousands of people.

The crowd density in the square is enough to illustrate this point.

It was only then that Shen Shi realized that he didn't seem to have asked how the personal terminals on the black market were manufactured.

But in the current future line, the number of users and stores in the black market has indeed increased greatly.

also--

In this future, human beings seem to have not lost their culture.

You can tell something from the correct architectural styles in front of you.

"Although I am very pleased that it has changed the fate of human beings losing their culture, I don't know if antiques are still valuable here." Shen Shi is now feeling a mixture of joy and sorrow. After all, his biggest trump card in trading in the future world is from Antiques for the modern world.
