Chapter 478 Princess Longji's Self-Examination
Chapter 478 Princess Longji's Self-Examination
From the outside, the Xiezhi Cave in Qilin Mountain looks exactly the same as it did a few days ago.
The patrolling demons were still patrolling as usual, and occasionally demon soldiers were conducting drills at the cave entrance, as if nothing had happened.
Even after walking into the cave, the original simple cave carved out of the mountain remains the same.
But in fact, everything was a disguise to cover up the truth. The reconstruction project was carried out quietly, and the construction progress was quite fast. The whole mountain was almost hollowed out, and the tunnel extended to the depths of the earth. The underground base took shape.
Even the little demons patrolling outside and the demon soldiers training at the door had all been replaced by demon agents from the Demon Alliance.
The agents have been strictly screened, and their race and appearance match those of Jin Guangxian's original demon soldiers. Even if there are slight differences, they have undergone cosmetic surgery to ensure that the similarity is over 95%.
As for the original demon soldiers, they were secretly sent to a labor camp in the territory of the Demon Alliance, where they were detained and reformed through labor. After the reform, they were incorporated into the adult demon education system of the Jiejiao, where they learned the knowledge of the Jiejiao and became demons again.
If the transformation is not good enough, send it to the new energy center to be stored in tanks to generate electricity, and realize the great dream of the demon race rising up and unifying the three realms in the matrix illusion.
In the originally simple hall of Xiezhi Cave, a light flashed, and Wen Rui and three fairies arrived instantly using the Hunyuan Shrinking Earth Technique.
Wen Rui walked towards Jin Guangxian's throne as the Demon King. The platform where the throne was located split open, revealing a passage leading to the underground. When the group walked into the passage, the throne closed again.
The reason why such a secret door is set up in order to cover up the truth is because the Xiezhi Cave Intelligence Center adopts the same anti-underground intrusion measures as the Jinling Sect base, and the Hunyuan Earth Escape Technique cannot directly reach the interior of the secret base.
This secret door is the only safe way to enter the secret base. Using other methods to break into the intelligence center will trigger a counterattack from the mountain protection array-level defense magic formation. Even gods and Buddhas will have to spend a lot of effort to break the barrier.
Walking along the passage into the elevator, we slowly descended into the huge underground space. Through the transparent elevator window, we could see countless engineering robots suspended in the air, busy with construction, welding rib frame supports, connecting cables, and installing equipment.
Princess Longji was no longer surprised by this and gradually adapted to this bizarre and incredible scene even for the gods.
Since she joined the investigation, she has been following Wen Rui and sees new things every day. There are many things that she cannot understand but she is greatly shocked. The more she thinks about them, the more she feels that there are profound truths contained in them.
It seemed like not much time had passed, but she had experienced more new things than in the past five hundred years, or even more than in the tens of thousands of years since her birth.
In ancient times, the pace of life of the gods was so slow that they treated years as seconds passing by. They would meditate for a while, and when they opened their eyes again, hundreds or thousands of years would have passed.
She was promoted to the royal family of the ancient gods, but because she was protected too well by her parents, her circle of life was actually very small. Tens of thousands of years passed from her childhood to adolescence, and the only thing in her memory was the unchanging and peerless beauty of the fairyland of Yao Chi.
The fairyland of Yaochi is indeed magnificent, but after seeing it for tens of thousands of years, one will get tired of it.
Long Ji had forgotten when she sneaked out of the fairyland of Yao Chi and traveled to the mortal world. Since then, she opened the door to a new world and realized that outside the fairyland, there were countless busy and short-lived creatures like ants.
From then on, she developed a strong interest in the human race and often went to spy on how the short-lived humans hurriedly went through their lives in a busy manner.
It was from that time that her parents noticed the changes in her and began to gradually dislike her, believing that she had fallen into depravity, been tainted by the evil karma of the worldly world, and no longer possessed the clear and pure heart of a god.
The elevator door opened, Long Ji woke up from his memories, and hurriedly followed Wen Rui.
The underground base has not been fully completed, but an area has been put into use.
Long Ji followed Wen Rui into the combat command center. It was a hall with many screens installed, showing images transmitted from various places, and scrolling through information and data reports.
There were many human and demon agents in uniform in the hall, who were analyzing, summarizing and summarizing all the information they received, selecting the parts they thought were important, and submitting them to Wen Rui after sorting them out.
Wen Rui only stayed in the war room for a short while, listened to the war commander's report for the day, and then left in a hurry.
Long Ji followed him closely to the next location, which was a place called "Magic Weapon R&D Center".
The Golden and Silver Boys and the Green Ox were arranged here to work with a group of so-called mortal and demon "scientists".
The gold and silver boys told the scientists about the structure, materials, and operating principles of Laojun Bagua Furnace. The scientists drew the design in reverse based on their explanations on the computer.
It is quite taboo to plagiarize the magic weapon of the saint so blatantly, but Wen Rui has no taboos because he relies on the promise from Laojun that he will not embarrass the young ones.
The Green Bull Demon on the other side was also explaining the three magic weapons, the Vajra Cutter, the Purple Gold Gourd and the Jade Bottle, to the scientists.
After years of training, Wen Rui finally no longer has to develop magic weapons alone. The scientific research team he trained is capable of handling most of the complex research and development work. He only needs to participate in the most critical part involving the operating principles of the Hunyuan Qi Guidance.
The Qi of Hunyuan is still too dangerous for creatures below the level of Hunyuan Golden Immortal. If they are contaminated by it even a little bit, the consequences will be terrible, with both body and soul being destroyed. This part will have to be paid by Wen Rui with the life of his clone.
After checking the research and development progress in the laboratory, Wen Rui left again and went to his office in the intelligence center.
After returning to the office, Wen Rui sat in the boss chair at the desk with familiarity, but found that Princess Longji and two other fairies had also followed him in.
"Why are you still following me?"
Wen Rui waved his hand, and drove them away like ducks, saying: "Your room has been renovated. It is equipped with a jacuzzi and an underground hot spring bath. Go and have a rest."
The three fairies then turned around and walked towards the office door.
These female fairies who came from the Yaochi Lake have been serving the Queen Mother, who is very particular about the rules of hierarchy, all year round. When they are with Wen Rui, they habitually treat him as the Queen Mother and dare not act without permission.
"By the way, if you're bored, you can watch some TV. There are a lot of movies and TV series stored in the movie library. The epic movie "The Legend of Western Bandits" that Liberty City Film Company just finished shooting and has not yet been released can be downloaded and watched on the intranet."
Before leaving, Wen Rui kindly gave a reminder.
Upon hearing this, Fairy Jiangyun and Fairy Yueying excitedly quickened their pace. They had lived in Liberty City for some time and had become veteran TV and movie fans.
Princess Longji walked out of the room, and when her two sisters who were in a hurry to go back to their rooms to watch the show disappeared around the corner of the corridor, she turned around and tiptoed back.
Standing in front of Wen Rui's office door, her cheeks gradually turned red, her expression was nervous and conflicted, and she seemed to be struggling fiercely in her heart.
"You said 'never let others tell you what to do'. I have been trying to follow the so-called laws of nature all my life. When I was young, I listened to my parents. When I just became an adult, I listened to Yue Lao. My fate is also determined like those evil beasts..."
Long Ji murmured, as if he was asking himself, or as if he was confiding in someone: "I never know what I should do. I think whatever I do is wrong. But if I listen to others and follow their advice, will I be doing the right thing?"
