"Brother Hao is really dead. He can be considered an old man here. Let him return to the World Tree and live in peace."
Shimama sighed and directed Xiaobai to sprinkle the handful of ashes on the flowerpot of the World Tree.
Xiaobai's eyes were naturally filled with tears.
Over the years, the World Tree has grown slightly.
The World Tree also seems to know that the dog that forms part of its consciousness is no longer there. When the ashes were sprinkled on the soil, the bud shone slightly and suddenly grew a small leaf.
It looks so young, yet full of life.
"It's on! The World Tree is actually on!"
(Brother Hao, this will always be your home.)
"quack."
Many animals are looking forward to Brother Hao to become a part of this bud - which can be regarded as a small spiritual sustenance.
The old sheep head, who was used to seeing life and death, immediately calmed down and said: "I don't know what's going on, but there seems to be Zhang Ming's body inside the gourd..."
"But the power of [Long-cherished Wish] has not been transmitted on a large scale. I don't know what happened."
"But I can't sense any more, and I don't know whether Zhang Ming is alive or dead. The so-called Demon War has not broken out..."
"I can sense that this gourd still has signs of life."
"So, what do we do now? Where do we go?"
Shimama said angrily: "I'd better not go back to the Island of Turtles yet. I haven't trained Xiaobai to be a Xuanwu. It's not a return home with honors. What's the point of going back? You can never go back to the Island of Turtles!"
Xiaobai was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly.
Even without Emperor Zhang leading the team, it would still have to continue its journey in the Sea of Demon Gods.
After all, the thought, culture and ideology of the Xuanwu clan are different from humans.
As time goes by, Xiaobai rarely recalls his hometown.
The pelican was also very pleased to see Xiaobai being so ambitious. He squealed wildly when he picked up Xiaobai.
Shimama wondered: "Are you going to the human world? This world tree can only sense the Xuanwu world and the human world, right?"
"We can't find other worlds either."
While playing with Sister Pelican, Xiaobai said: (What are we going to do in the human world? Without Zhang Ming, we would be captured and dissected by humans, right?)
"That's true. Are you drifting with the tide in the sea of demon gods? Doing nothing, just eating and waiting to die every day?"
Shimama was a little troubled. She didn't expect that after Zhang Ming died, they...even the target disappeared.
So it could only turn to the newly appointed captain, the Bird Emperor.
The pelican's pitiful brain capacity is something Monk Zhang Er can't figure out. It spends its simple life flying around in the sea of demons.
Eat well and get hungry, either chase monsters or be chased.
The final goal is to defeat the villain Zhang Dadi and seize the ship!
Now that the Pelicans have achieved their goal of becoming a bird, everything seems dull again.
The Pelicans are stuck in sage mode.
"Um...wait."
While many animals were discussing, old man Bai Ze was stunned for a moment. He was staying on the moon's body and suddenly felt the "worm of time and space" move a few times.
It seemed like a regular vibration.
"Three shorts, three longs, three shorts...the moon is shaking?!"
"The moon is shaking!"
What's the meaning?
Xiaobai, who graduated with a Ph.D., suddenly thought of something and danced: (It means help, I have read it in a book, the Morse code among humans, it means asking for help! He is not dead yet!)
"Help?"
Then, the moon shook again.
Three short, three long, three short.
It seems that the earthquake was caused by the instigation of the devil's rules.
After this, the moon returned to silence.
Many animals were overjoyed that Zhang Ming was really alive!
"Find a world immediately, settle down first, and isolate the power of the devil." Bai Ze was happy in his heart, but at the same time he remained calm, "Pelican, can you see it?"
"Gah!" the pelican shouted. In its field of vision, the terrifying black line originating from the depths of the sea was continuously transmitting power to the gourd.
This black line is so terrifying, any bit of power contained in it makes it terrified.
If it hadn't been for the crew that housed it, it would have lost the gourd long ago!
"In other words, for some unknown reason, he is not dead yet and is still resisting!" Bai Ze analyzed, "We have to cut off the continuous penetration of the devil's power, otherwise he will die sooner or later!"
"How to cut it off? That's the Demon God's anchor, and your sheep Mama doesn't have that ability." Shitou mocked.
"Does the world have this ability?"
"This...I don't know. But even if we can't cut off these thin lines and prevent the penetration of the devil's power, a normal world should be able to do it."
Looking at it this way, World Hunter is really amazing.
There are things that even demon gods cannot do, but World Hunters can actually do them.
"Well, how about we catch some World Hunters first and let the World Hunters lead the way and take us to the nearest world? No matter what, let's practice some health and recuperate first. I also want to see, What the world is.”
After all, Bai Ze's intelligence was higher than that of birds and stones. In a few words, he stated a rough goal.
Sister Pelican naturally has no objections... She has been wandering for a long time and has forgotten what her original world is like.
It would be a good thing if we could find a new world and rest for a while.
The only question is, who will catch the World Hunter? Although it looks like just a bunch of mushrooms... but maybe it's actually something more perverted?
How can we make the World Hunter lead the way?
"If it doesn't work, I can only use my body." The flames in Bai Ze's eyes began to beat, "But I don't have control over the moon. Once I come out, I can't go back."
"Moreover, I currently only have the soul power for one large-scale battle. After that, I will be much weaker."
The black stone was immediately furious: "How can I use Shangyou's true body to personally take action? Isn't it also me, Emperor Shi! Xiaobai, come on! Today is the time to show the results and wisdom of practice."
"You have to prove that you can succeed without Mama Zhang leading the way!"
The ship turned around and headed towards the world of death.
…
…
"Old Zhang, he may be dead..."
"Ten years ago, he called me and told me that he was suffering from inaccuracy. That was our last communication. After that, we had no contact for 10 years."
"In the past, he would contact me once every one or two years or three to five years."
"There has been no contact for 10 years now, and I feel... that he may really be dead. This news is very cruel, but we must be mentally prepared for this."
The weather in Donghua City today is not good. It is pouring rain endlessly, and the black clouds are endless, as if the whole world has turned into black and white.
Wang Fumin sat in the office and sighed slightly. This news was so important that he didn't know how to disclose it to the highest level of mankind... So far, he has still not disclosed it.
Sitting opposite him was Karl Baochajin, a partner of Yuanguang Group, a famous military industrial enterprise, also known as Comrade Li Xianfeng, who looked a little old again.
10 years have passed, why have you changed from a boss to a partner?
Because his business is getting bigger and bigger, the coalition government does not allow the unique technology of human civilization to be controlled by private capital.
It is also impossible to allow private armed forces to override the coalition government.
The strife at the political level was not something that Li Xianfeng could stop, so he naturally changed from boss to partner...
Fortunately, this partner also has certain capital call power.
Of course, it was for the sake of the strongest man on earth, Wang Fumin, that he kept that little thing.
Otherwise, a person without power or strength would have been kicked out long ago. Just like Apple founder Steve Jobs was kicked out, overripe peaches will always be picked.
From a certain perspective, every era is similar.
Li Xianfeng was more open-minded about the things outside him. He was shocked by the news of Zhang Ming's death. For a moment, he was a little unsteady in holding the tea. With a "pop", the cup fell on the table.
The founder of the breathing technique who descended from the gods to earth, actually died?
He stared blankly at the heavy rain outside the window, thunder and lightning, and roaring sounds in the distance.
"This is just my guess." Wang Fumin said helplessly, "The mortality rate of the disease is 100%. Under normal circumstances, a person who breaks through the limits of human perspective will die within a month. Ordinary people will die within a few hours. I went crazy. Now there has been no news for 10 years, so I can only speculate like this."
During the years when Zhang Ming was trapped in the abyss, he never made contact with the earth, and his influence among the human community gradually decreased.
Human beings are always forgetful creatures. The next generation of children have not personally experienced Zhang Ming's deeds and can only learn from textbooks, so their impression will be a little weaker.
The heroic figure who lived more than 100 years ago is really too old, not to mention the official definition: "In order to find opportunities for human progress, he disappeared in the Sea of Demon Gods."
The majority of the people default to "death" when it comes to disappearance.
Of course, some people at the top of mankind thought Zhang Ming was still alive.
However, with the changes of the times and the torrent of history, how many people are the real helmsmen? It’s all just going with the flow.
Many of those who think Zhang Ming is still alive have ulterior motives and just want to borrow Lao Zhang's influence.
There are thousands of politicians in the world, but there are only a few politicians. All kinds of obstacles are like an airtight network. You can move freely and comfortably within the network. Once this network is touched, It was really deep in the quagmire, and it was difficult to move forward.
Fortunately, human civilization is indeed progressing rapidly, and a true golden age has ushered in after the Dawn Age. The economy, science and technology, and military are developing in all directions, and the population is recovering rapidly.
Even without Lao Zhang's trump card, it is not the kind of inferior civilization that will be easily extinct.
"I have kept this secret for ten years, so don't tell anyone else. Just treat him as missing. It's always good to keep some hope."
