"Why is this happening?" Li Xiu looked at the scene that was like a hell on earth and still couldn't understand why he was doing this.
Even if one person dies and the other lives, you can wait for the old man to die naturally and give birth to a new baby. There is no need to actively seek death like this, right?
The voice said faintly: "Because of the collapse of the world, this world is no longer suitable for the survival of most life forms. Not only humans, but also various animals and plants have become extinct. Only those mutated demon spirits and mutated demon plants can survive in the wilderness. To survive, humans have no food to eat, and most humans die of hunger. Only a few humans survive in special cities. However, there is no land, and the food produced within the city alone cannot support so many people. . Humanity needs to survive and continue, needs fresh blood, and needs enough labor force to survive in this collapsed world. Therefore, those old people who are over sixty years old and have almost no labor force, for the sake of the continuation of humankind, They will go on hunger strike and eventually go into the wilderness to end their lives.”
"Sixty years old, isn't it the prime time for a trialist?" After Li Xiu finished speaking, he realized something.
He didn't see any testers in the city, nor did he see the door of testing in the wilderness.
"It seems that you have already thought about it. There are no trialists in this world, and there is no trial gate. Human beings have no way to continue practicing. Fortunately, there are still magic costume masters, otherwise humankind would have been extinct long ago. ." said the voice.
"You mean, I killed that person and saved the world, but also made the world what it is now?" Li Xiu understood the meaning of the voice and said silently.
"Yes, you won that battle, but the world has become what it is now." The voice sighed.
Li Xiu was silent. He didn't know whether the theater of life would really become the future.
"It's almost time, you should get on the bus." As the voice ended, the scene in the theater of life disappeared, and Li Xiu returned to the platform.
The small train made a beeping whistle, urging passengers to get on.
Li Xiu got on the small train, but heard the voice saying outside the window: "I can't walk with you the rest of the way, because the future will no longer have me."
Li Xiu wanted to ask something, but the train had already started and headed towards the endless tunnel.
Li Xiu shouted several times, but he didn't get any response, and the voice completely disappeared.
"Who is she? She said that there is no more her in the future. Does that mean that after the theater of life, she also died?" Li Xiu frowned and thought.
The little train kept moving forward in this endless tunnel that seemed to have no end. It would stop for a while at each station, but Li Xiu did not get off again.
Along the way, Li Xiu was thinking about what he had seen in the Theater of Life. Based on his own understanding, the future in the time tunnel should not be the real future, but a future derivation based on reality.
In other words, if the current process of the real world is followed, it is very likely that he will actually reach the scene he saw.
But this inference is not irreversible, so the first stop the little train arrives at is the crossroads of destiny. Only if he makes a certain choice will the scene in the theater of life become a future reality.
If he had made a different choice at the crossroads of destiny, I believe the future would not necessarily be what he saw.
"That voice said that because I defeated a person and saved the world, the world became like this. If I really have such a choice then, how should I choose?" Li Xiu kept thinking about all kinds of things. possibility.
Unfortunately, there was too little information, and there wasn't much he could analyze.
The train passed one stop after another, and I don’t know how much time had passed. Finally, I heard the strange voice on the train announcing: "This train is about to arrive at the terminal, please prepare to get off."
Li Xiu saw the platform appear outside the window, and the train was slowly slowing down. When the train came to a complete stop, Li Xiu got off the train and saw the scene in front of him.
He couldn't help but stare up.
On the other side of the platform, the ancient black stone door stood like a gate to heaven, almost blending into the dark void.
Li Xiu looked up at the void-like door, and he couldn't help but feel his own insignificance. He was not even an ant in front of this stone door.
Different from the trial gates he had seen before, this stone mountain seemed to be naturally formed. There were no traces of artificial carvings, no patterns, not even any gaps or grooves.
Li Xiu was very sure that this was definitely not a trial door, and there was no place to inlaid gems on it.
What puzzled him was that there was no keyhole on it, so how could the key Li Boyang mentioned open the stone door?
"The key Li Boyang mentioned seems to be just a metaphor, not a real key." Li Xiu walked to the empty stone door and reached out to touch it.
But as soon as his fingertips hit the stone door, there was an irresistible force that directly launched his body away.
With Li Xiu's current strength, he was completely unable to resist that force. His body flew backwards like a projectile, and the scenery around him flew by like a stream of light.
Bang!
Li Xiu fell heavily to the ground. When he settled down, he found that he was already in front of the stone monument in the Land of Green Fields.
"Pfft!" Li Xiu opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood. Just touching the stone door had already caused him serious injuries.
Li Xiu could feel that the power erupting from the stone gate was completely different from the power in this world.
It's not that it's different from Li Xiu's power, but that it's different from the entire world's power system.
"Perhaps what Guan Jinghao said is right. That door is the door to the outside world." Li Xiu thought to himself: "The stone door has no inlay and no keyhole. Li Boyang wants to use me as the key. Does he mean to open the stone door? The way is to sacrifice?"
Li Xiu sat there and thought deeply for a long time before getting up and leaving.
He had already made a decision in his heart, cheered up again, and after returning to the City of Light, he went directly to Changsheng Heaven.
Yes, Li Xiu is going to Changshengtian. Li Boyang will definitely not kill him now anyway. Why not use the resources of Changshengtian to improve his strength?
Of course, the strength Li Xiu wants to improve does not refer to himself.
It was only a matter of time before he was promoted to Peerless, and it would take a while. What he really wanted to improve was the strength of his demon spirits.
"Sister, do you want to be promoted to the divine position?" Li Xiu came to Wan Chaochun's house, and the first words he said to Wan Chaochun made Wan Chaochun's eyes light up.
"I've been waiting for your words for a long time." Wan Chaochun said with a sweet smile.
"I'll take care of the Divine Gem. Sister, help me ask who else wants the Divine Gem in the Eternal City," Li Xiu said.
"What are you planning? Are you trying to trick people again?" Wan Chaochun said with a frown.
Li Xiu has already tricked someone once, and now the major families are on tight guard against Li Xiu. It will not be that easy to trick them again.
"I don't have time to trick them. I really want to sell the divine gem." Li Xiu said with a smile.
"There are so many people who want to be promoted to the divine position. How can you get so many divine gems to sell to them? Will you be able to give birth to one yourself?" Wan Chaochun said, rolling his eyes.
"Of course I can't give birth, and I don't have any in hand now. I plan to go to the trial place to hunt the divine demons. Then I will have the divine gems." With Li Xiu's current strength, he wants to hunt the divine demons. Spirit, it can be said to be easy.
"Do you know how long it takes to kill a divine demon? Even if you have intelligence and ability, you still have to take risks, not to mention the explosion rate of divine gems is so low, you..."
Before Wan Chaochun finished speaking, his eyes widened and he stared at Li Xiu in disbelief.
Light energy rose from Li Xiu's body, and the intensity of that light energy had reached a level that even Wan Chaochun could not fathom.
"Killing god-level demons couldn't be easier for me." Li Xiu said calmly.
Wan Chaochun did not refute, because Li Xiushen
The terrifying light energy on it was much more powerful than any divine demon spirit she had ever seen.
"Are you still a god?" Wan Chaochun even doubted whether Li Xiu had broken through the god status and reached another level, although she didn't know what that level was.
"Not yet, but it will be soon." Li Xiu continued: "I am only responsible for killing demon spirits and obtaining divine gems. Sister, please help me contact the buyer. I only want gems, the best gems, especially rubies."
"This is no problem, but are you sure you really want to do this? I think you should discuss it with the president first." Wan Chaochun said thoughtfully.
"Sister, don't worry, he won't have any objections." Li Xiu didn't explain much.
Although Wan Chaochun was confused and didn't know why Li Xiu was so sure, he didn't ask any more questions and agreed to Li Xiu to help him sell the divine gem.
Li Xiu went back to Courtyard No. 7, met with Jing Li, Lao Qian and others, gave them some suggestions and resources, and then set off for Tianmen.
There should be a lot of gods and demons near Tianmen. The key is to be able to visit Lao Dao along the way. Before the final battle, he wants to see the person he wants to see.
In the past, Tianmen was mysterious and unpredictable in Li Xiu's eyes, but now to Li Xiu, this place is no longer a dragon's pond or a tiger's den.
Whenever there were demon spirits along the way, they were killed by Li Xiu, and the demon cores obtained were directly fed to the demigod Setsuna and the Jedi Knights.
He wants to feed the demigod Setsuna and Jedi Knights to the peak of godhood as quickly as possible.
Because these two monsters eat everything and digest it very quickly, feeding them is easier. Feeding other demon spirits is too troublesome and takes too long.
Of course, Li Xiu planned to exchange for those top-level gems and also planned to cultivate other demon spirits.
The bride-to-be and the Dragon Vein Spirit are also the two targets that Li Xiu focuses on training. As for the others, it may be difficult to upgrade them to a very high level.
Unless Li Xiu can get some evil spirits and turn those demon spirits into existences like Jedi Knights and Demigod Sets, it will be possible to cultivate them to the level of gods in a short time.
"Boy, are you back alive?" Lao Dao was extremely happy when he saw Li Xiu.
Li Xiu pinched the muscles on his body and said with a smile: "She's probably not dead yet." "It's good to come back alive." Lao Dao looked pleased.
"The person is back, but the matter is not settled." Li Xiu said.
"What's going on?" Lao Dao asked quickly.
Li Xiu didn't hide anything and told what happened between him and Li Boyang. Lao Dao's expression changed after hearing this.
After a long time, Lao Dao sighed softly and said: "I have almost repaid the kindness of the president. I am old and my life is almost gone. If you want this life, I will give it to you."
"Lao Dao, please keep your life safe. If I don't die, I will never stop getting drunk with you." Li Xiu said with a smile.
"Okay." Lao Dao said with a wry smile.
"Lao Dao, you have been in Changshengtian for so many years, but do you know that there was a person named Tang Tianzhen in Changshengtian?" Li Xiu asked.
When he heard Bellona talk about the bald human, he thought of Tang Tianzhen.
But if Tang Tianzhen was really such a powerful person, how could he have been trapped in that house by his sister for so many years.
So Li Xiu felt that it wasn't Tang Tianzhen, but he still wanted to find out about Tang Tianzhen's origins.
"I've never heard of Tang Tianzhen," Lao Dao thought for a long time before shaking his head.
"That's strange. I heard him say that he used to be from Changshengtian, and he also liked a woman, but that woman later left him." Li Xiu told what he heard from Tang Tianzhen again.
"Wait a minute, you said that Tang Tianzhen is bald and very handsome and holy, like a god who cannot be blasphemed?" Lao Dao suddenly interrupted Li Xiu and stared at him and asked.
"Yes, he is bald and very good-looking, but his temperament is very special. It makes people feel like he is like a statue of a god on a altar. It makes people feel that he cannot be blasphemed." Li Xiu nodded.
"When you said that, I thought
Wake up, there was indeed such a person in Changshengtian, but I only heard that there was such a person, and I didn’t know his name. In fact, I originally thought that it was just a story. "Lao Dao said with a strange expression.
"What's going on?" Li Xiu asked quickly.
"That's a story I heard from the elders of the previous generation." Lao Dao told a story while recalling it.
At the beginning of the establishment of Changshengtian, there was a wonderful and beautiful woman who joined. That woman was top-notch smart. In that era when great masters emerged in large numbers, she also occupied a place in Changshengtian.
Not only the masters of various sects who joined Changshengtian loved the woman very much, but even the president also favored her.
It is said that many people wanted to pursue that woman at that time, but the woman only wanted to pursue the truth and did not consider the matter of men and women at all.
Even for people like the president, who have vast knowledge of the world, women only respect his knowledge and have no relationship between men and women at all.
The key point is that even so, the big guys and presidents of various schools have always been extremely fond of her and have no other thoughts because of her rejection.
Everyone originally thought that this woman was a fairy from heaven who came down to earth, and that no man in the world was worthy of her. Perhaps it was her destiny to seek enlightenment all her life. But until a bald man appeared, the fairy-like woman fell into mortal love.
"Is that bald man Tang Tianzhen?" Li Xiu didn't expect that Tang Tianzhen had such a history.
"I don't know if he is Tang Tianzhen. When the elder told me this story, he didn't mention the man's name. He just said that he was very strange. He was born like a god, but he was tainted with half the dirt of the world."
Lao Dao paused and then said: "And this person's status in Changshengtian is very special. He has obviously entered Changshengtian, but the president did not give him any position. A person without a position can go anywhere in Changshengtian." Even in the city lord’s palace, he can come and go freely, and he even lives in the president’s home. Rather than saying that he has joined Changshengtian, it is more suitable to say that he is here for tourism.”
The more Li Xiu listened, the more strange he felt about this matter. Originally, he thought Tang Tianzhen might be an older member of Changshengtian, but according to what Lao Dao said, this person looked very similar to Tang Tianzhen in all aspects of his image and temperament.
If it is really him, then he is the old man at the beginning of the establishment of Changshengtian, and he is also an existence that has survived for thousands of years.
In addition, in the story, he does not seem to be a subordinate of the president, but more like a friend with equal status.
If the person in that story was really Tang Tianzhen, Li Xiu would have to wonder if Tang Tianzhen was the one who left a drop of blood on the Spirit-Suppressing Stone.
"What happened next?" Li Xiu asked, looking at Lao Dao.
"Later they broke up. I heard that the man was not good enough, and they separated again not long after they got together." Lao Dao chuckled and said, "When the elder told me about it, he was actually just teasing us young people. Well, he also said that no matter how good a man is outside, it’s useless. He’s not good at that, and no matter how good he is, he can’t keep a girl.”
Li Xiu was speechless: "Then is this story true?"
"Then I really don't know. At that time, the elder was just telling the story for fun. He said it as if it was something like that. There is no way to ask him now. Otherwise, you can wait and wait for me. Go down and ask him again in a hundred years, and I will give you a dream later." Lao Dao said with a smile.
"Okay, then I won't bother you. If you really want to go down, just stay down there and don't come up to scare people." Li Xiu smiled helplessly.
Although this story sounds a bit fantasy, the bald man in the story is indeed very similar to Tang Tianzhen in all aspects, but he has a holy and god-like temperament. Li Xiu has never seen another human being have such a temperament.
Then he contacted Tang Tianzhen and said that his girlfriend broke up with him because of his appearance. Li Xiu felt that the person in the story was most likely Tang Tianzhen.
Originally, Li Xiu was still thinking about hunting divine demon spirits here, but now that he got such news, he wanted to go to Good Luck Slope immediately to find out whether Tang Tianzhen was the person in the story, and also to find out who he was. Does it have anything to do with the drop of blood on the Spirit-Suppressing Stone?
