Chapter 536: Passing on the Dharma to Heng?
Call ~
The powerful demon's body turned into a ball of black ash and was blown away by a breeze.
The sudden change made all the practitioners present look terrified.
Moreover, at this moment, there were wisps of black thunder jumping in the sky, as if brewing the next attack.
The weak but extremely lofty will, with a rage enough to ignite the world, turned into a depressing and heavy aura, enveloping the hearts of every practitioner.
The old man with white hair and youthful face was the first to come to his senses and reminded loudly:
"Get away from the sword formation!"
This time no cultivator dared to delay any longer. They all crawled to their feet and fled in the direction away from the sword formation.
It was not until they were all far away from the sword formation that the oppressive and heavy aura gradually subsided, and the flickering black lightning in the sky also dissipated.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
A thin middle-aged man with a cultivation level of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul and a black spear on his back, with fear still lingering in his eyes, looked at the old man who had just reminded them.
"Senior Fuya, what is this...?"
"The malice of the world." Fu Ya looked at the sky with a serious expression.
As the only incarnation of the god here, he is a practitioner born in the Yanyuan Sect and is good at divination.
He now knew far more than other practitioners.
The world was already on the brink of collapse, with the remaining return to the void escaping, and even the world itself was in despair.
However, the appearance of this sword formation and net greatly slowed down the speed of the world's collapse.
The pure spiritual energy that is transformed repairs the wounds of the world, giving it a tiny bit of vitality and the possibility of avoiding the fate of returning to the abyss.
It's like a dying person has a glimmer of life...
So no matter how slim the chance of survival is, He will try His best to grasp it!
If anyone dares to stop or interfere with this rare glimmer of life, what awaits him will surely be the world's unreserved malice!
"Then what should we do?" another practitioner couldn't help but ask.
"..."
How do I know what to do?
Until now, he still had no idea who had set up the sword formation and net that delayed the world's collapse...
"Let's wait and see the situation. This is not something we can interfere with." Fu Ya said in a deep voice.
He had seen many Return to Void Venerables before, but none of them gave him as much pressure as the sword formation before him.
Look up.
Four sword shadows that stretched from sky to earth were reflected in his pupils. The sword energy in the formation never stopped, and it was as sharp as a storm, making people feel cold in their hearts.
Feeling the pure spiritual energy refined by the sword formation, although Fu Ya didn't dare to breathe in or out, he felt a little dazed.
"Is there really any hope for this world?"
……
……
A high place, a place that ordinary practitioners cannot find.
Qi Ling was flying high in the sky, looking at the chaotic cracks whose expansion trend had been curbed, and he kept thinking about his next plan in his mind.
"Kong Ming's nine sword formations, plus the ninety percent of the magic weapons I brought this time, have finally managed to control it..."
After running around for a period of time, she finally restricted all the chaotic cracks in this world.
However, doing so is only treating the symptoms and not the root cause!
In order to save the world, it is necessary to repair the damaged network of law while closing all the chaos cracks.
The web of jurisprudence itself was born as the world grows. It is an important support for the world's absorption and exhalation of chaotic energy and nourishment of the world's interior.
If it is damaged and you want to repair it, you can only rely on the creatures in the world to practice little by little and then "weave" it together again.
But the problem is that only a small number of living beings in this world are left...
The main force of Return to Void and elite practitioners have already escaped by transforming the surrounding small worlds. Now these...
Maybe that's not a good thing to say.
But except for a very small number of people who voluntarily stayed and did not want to leave the world and go into exile, the rest...
Most of them are crooked and ugly!
Hey~
It seems that the next two tasks will not be easy to complete.
This is the case with me, and Kong Ming's last two tasks have the highest rewards, and I'm afraid they are even more difficult than mine...
His mind was racing as he prepared to leave.
But suddenly he stopped!
A thought came from a weak will.
The general meaning is -
"The restoration of the Web of Law can be left to the world itself. You only need to suppress the expansion of the Chaos Rift."
The weak will was vague and ethereal, and disappeared again after the thought was transmitted.
Qi Ling was stunned.
Only then did I realize that another prompt popped up on my personal interface.
[World Favor +10%]
[Congratulations! The world's favor has reached 100%, and you have obtained the title of 'Savior', and your ascension points +5]
[Savior: Gain the friendship of the world and receive enlightenment from the world. Creatures in the world that are hostile to you will suffer the hostility of the world.]
Ok?
Is this the title?
After a little thought in my mind, I soon understood everything.
No wonder, no wonder a mission as difficult as 'Stop the World Collapse' only rewards 25 Ascension Points
It turns out that the world itself is also taking into account its struggle for survival.
He glanced at the personal interface and his eyes fell on the column at the back.
【Ascension Point: 5】
Speaking of...
What is the use of this ascension point?
……
……
The speed at which time flows in the mission world is originally slightly different due to the differences in the world itself.
But under the control of Taixuanxian.com.
Except for the mission world where the three leaders of the Immortal Sect Competition contestants went, which still maintained the original time flow rate, the time flow rate of the worlds where the other few returning to the void contestants went was exactly the same.
Tens of days later.
Mission World 1, Qixing.
Inside a closed laboratory.
Under the bright lights, Zhou Kongming stood quietly in front of the rows of culture chambers.
Through the specially made transparent material, one can see a special culture fluid that is glowing faintly, in which a mass of twisted dark red flesh and blood is quietly suspended.
White threads extended from the dark red twisted flesh and blood, constantly twisting in the culture fluid like tiny tentacles.
And strange meat lumps like this can be found in the densely packed culture chambers around.
Even the shapes are different.
Some have grayish-white skin and are slender overall, like a worm, but they have a human face.
Some of them have a fish-shaped lower body and a torso with hands and facial features irregularly distributed on the head, as if messed up by an invisible hand.
There are all kinds of strange things. Even the cultured organisms that are closest to the concept of "human beings" are very different from original humans.
Zhou Kongming looked at the twisted flesh in front of him with a calm expression.
However, his heart was not what it seemed on the surface.
Now I am standing in the middle of this pile of weird things...
If other practitioners saw me, they might mistake me for a demon?
wrong!
Even the clone bases of those old demons before were not as exciting as what I see now.
Woo——!
I saw the door behind me open, and a figure about 1.5 meters tall with two ponytails and an extremely exaggerated figure walked in.
Her face is delicate, with a bit of baby fat, and she looks a little cautious.
"Master, the estimated completion time of the genetic optimization project has been calculated." The person who came was Heng.
Ever since he last saw Zhou Kongming destroy a corner of a galaxy with one sword, he has become completely obedient.
Mature space technology, time technology, and destructive power that is beyond comprehension...
His understanding of Zhou Kongming at this time also became "a human being who has ascended to a higher dimension."
Although I don't understand why a being like the Master would call himself a human being...
But compared with these problems, it is more important to ensure its own survival.
During this period, the more the 'Spirit' felt this world, the more it did not want to die.
Zhou Kongming did not turn around, and asked calmly: "How long will it take?"
Heng's attitude became more respectful: "The genetic optimization project is expected to be completed in 374 years."
Three hundred and seventy-four years...
Zhou Kongming's eyes twitched.
The day lily will be cold by then!
I immediately turned around and looked at Him: "Why is it taking so long?"
Heng's heart trembled, and he knelt down decisively.
"Reporting to the master, although the Pinxing gene bank has been recovered, the samples stored in it have been consumed. Those contaminated gene samples can no longer be used."
The talents of the Yanyuan civilization are "invasion, transformation and utilization". They do not understand "cultivation" and do not know how to "retain".
In other words, the samples in the Pinxing-1 gene bank have been completely contaminated.
The most we can do now is to conduct comparative experiments between the contaminated genes of those deformed limbs and the genes of current cloned humans to speed up the progress.
And 374 years is the limit He calculated.
Without major technological breakthroughs, it will be impossible to speed up.
After all, the survival of mankind is completely tied to His own survival, so He would never dare to act recklessly.
"374 years..."
Zhou Kongming had a headache.
His total mission time was only 21 years, even a fraction of that would be far too much.
"Can't it be faster?"
“……” Heng didn’t dare to speak.
The genetic optimization project was completed in 374 years, even though the project stopped for a while to explore other planetary systems and integrate resources.
"..."
Seeing his trembling appearance, Zhou Kongming felt helpless and waved his hand.
"Okay, go out first, I'll think about it myself."
He could feel that this guy really didn't cause any trouble this time, and 374 years was really the limit of what he could achieve.
Hengru felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly stood up and backed out:
"Yes! Yes! I will definitely work hard."
Until the door closes again.
Zhou Kongming turned around and continued to look at the incubator, his eyes reflecting the deformed and twisted flesh...
If I had known this earlier, I would have gone to the Chuanfa Building to look up some information related to the cloning technology of those old demons.
"374 years..."
The next moment, his figure flashed.
He disappeared out of thin air from in front of the incubator.
When he reappeared, he had already arrived at another closed laboratory.
Compared to the enclosed space where the incubator is located, the lighting here is dimmer.
You can also see white spheres the size of basketballs floating on the cylindrical exhibition stands.
It is the creature of the Yanyuan civilization.
The original intention was to study their talents, figure out the principles behind them, and then promote the progress of genetic optimization projects.
For this purpose, Zhou Kongming specially let their "souls" fall into a state of silence.
As a result, their talents can be triggered even when their 'souls' are completely silent.
Heng himself is still in the realm of 'spiritual objects' and has not practiced systematically, so it is difficult for him to resist their talents and he will be invaded if he is not careful.
Therefore, research in this area is also at an extremely slow pace.
Not to mention promoting genetic optimization engineering...
"..." After a brief pause, "So, we still have to use another method..."
Heng previously proposed two solutions that could potentially speed up the progress of the genetic optimization project.
Although one of them shortened the time a lot, it was still far from what was expected.
And the second...
He never thought about it from beginning to end.
It is absolutely impossible to leave behind your own genetic information.
Not to mention that this would leave a huge hidden danger, if a human being created a new world with his own genes...
He couldn't accept the scene just by thinking about it.
However, in addition to the two solutions given by Heng, he also has a solution of his own.
That is to reinforce the contract again, and then teach Heng the most basic 'Spirit in Objects' practice method.
In this way, as its spirituality gradually grows stronger, its resistance to the biological talents of the Yanyuan civilization will increase, and even the progress of genetic optimization engineering will be further accelerated.
To be honest, if he hadn't known from the beginning that this guy was not very honest, he would have taught him the cultivation method long ago when the Pinxing Gene Bank did not meet expectations.
There is no need to hesitate like now.
Anyway, as long as the spiritual tide has not revived, whether he wants to improve his cultivation will depend on how much resources he gives him.
……
……
Just when Zhou Kongming was considering whether he should teach the Heng cultivation method.
Deep in the world, a place beyond the reach of all living beings.
A figure sat quietly, overlooking the entire world.
Although it is just the size of an ordinary human, it gives people a feeling of heaviness that is larger than the universe and cannot be borne by the world.
It was the sword spirit body that Xu Xing left in this world.
"Have you finally made up your mind?"
He had some concerns, and Xu Xing could understand that.
After all, his next mission is to ensure that humans remain in a dominant position after the revival of the spiritual tide.
Hengke is a strong artificial intelligence created by the Qixing civilization. Once practiced, it has more advantages than ordinary spiritual objects.
In such a world where the human race is declining, he really cannot guarantee that within the 21 years of his mission, there will be a human being who can surpass Heng who has practiced in advance.
As for destroying Him directly after using Him...
If Na Heng behaved himself and no longer had any evil thoughts, the younger generation would never have done that.
Xu Xing shook his head and chuckled:
"we'll see."
These youngsters are the best of their respective generations. Even if they do not become the sect leader in the end, they will still be one of the decision-makers in the sect.
The choices they make in the face of difficulties now can largely reflect where they will lead the sect in the future.
And the reason why he wanted the sword spirit to stay behind...
These young people all possess power at the top of the world, but because of their mission, they are inevitably forced to change the world.
Although each of them was excellent, it was still their first time to carry out such a mission.
If they overreach themselves with their power, it will surely be a disaster for the entire world.
Xu Xing naturally had to cover for them. (End of this chapter)
