casket of old days

Chapter 943 Crisis
Although he felt a little flustered suddenly, Jiang Longyu gradually felt at ease when he thought of the situation in the Han world today, and the fact that there were still many masters, especially Chu Qiguang's level.

'It's okay, although the God of Heaven is powerful, the big man now is very different from the past. '

Thinking of the current prosperity and power of the big man, and the accumulation of terror in the whole world under Chu Qiguang's governance for so many years, the sudden panic in Jiang Longyu's heart was swept away.

"Think about it carefully, Huang Tian is not a great guy..."

For Jiang Longyu in the past, maybe Huangtian was an extremely mysterious, terrifying and powerful god, and the infinite unknown represented infinite fear.

But for the current Jiang Longyu, according to the information currently held by the big man, Huang Tian is just a monk with a very high level, and he is not much different from them in essence.

'Even if he has reached the level of the so-called ancestor of Taoism, there is more than one strong man of the level of Taoist ancestor in this world. If Huangtian really dares to come over, I am afraid that what awaits him is an earth-shattering siege. '

Soon Jiang Longyu put his thoughts about Huangtian behind him. He felt that instead of thinking about this, he had better think about his future life arrangements.

'Should I go to heaven or not? '

Ever since he was taken away for investigation, Jiang Longyu felt that there was a stain on his resume.

Although it was finally confirmed that the tax evasion had nothing to do with him, but that the people below had made their own claims, but the label of unknown people and weak supervision was still stamped on him after all.

From that time on, he felt a vague resistance in the selection of various items for the circulation of qi and blood.

He was unexpectedly not selected for all the major national projects with a huge amount of energy and blood. You must know that he was a frequent visitor to those projects before, and he was a gold-lettered signboard of many energy and blood circulation projects.

As a result, many of the Eighth Generals of Xinghan who are more advanced than him are often selected, but he is the only one who has been excluded. For this reason, he went to find Chu Qiguang, and he has always remembered what the other party said. in mind...

"The operation of each project is reviewed by the Qi and Blood Center. As for the manpower arrangement, I believe they have their own considerations. As a higher level... I am actually not suitable to interfere with them."

Jiang Longyu: "But you have to give me a chance, right? Now I'm not even allowed to try once and I'll be eliminated..."

Chu Qiguang: "Xiaojiang, I understand. I understand your discomfort, but you also need to understand the difficulties of the management. After all, you have had an accident. If you continue to manage some large-scale blood projects, It will inevitably make the buying customers lack of confidence, and everyone will feel uncomfortable when the sales decline..."

Jiang Longyu: "You know that time had nothing to do with me, it was all messed up by the people below..."

Chu Qiguang: "I know, I know, don't worry, I will definitely help you find a way, you know, I was most optimistic about you among the eight generals of Xinghan in the past... um... how about it, do you think so?" Want to work outside the sky for a while?"

Jiang Longyu: "Outside the sky?"

Chu Qiguang nodded: "You just broke through Shenyou recently, right? To be honest, it's a bit late to break through Shenyou at this age. Among the average breakthrough ages of today's field workers, it can barely be regarded as the middle and lower level... If it was in the past If you don't, the good things that happen to the sky will not be your turn."

"But from ancient times to the present, no dynasty or generation has ever been so easy to travel outside the sky as it is now. The focus of the layout for the next hundred years will also be outside the sky. You can be regarded as catching up."

"Whether you have experience working outside the sky will be very important in the future. This will be taken into account in promotion and salary increase, and whether your position can be moved up before the age of 100 is also a hurdle."

"So if you can't find a job that you are more satisfied with now...then I recommend you to study in Tianwai for a period of time."

After Jiang Longyu considered for a moment, he asked again, "How long is a period of time?"

Chu Qiguang took out a stack of documents and put them in front of the other party: "Just read them here. These are internal documents. Don't tell others that I asked you to read them."

Jiang Longyu was a little surprised when he saw half of it and said, "At least five years?"

Chu Qiguang explained: "The Advent Ritual consumes a lot of resources, and the work outside the sky is very busy. In order to reduce costs and work efficiency, it can only be returned once every five years at most."

"But as far as I know, you are neither married nor have children, right? Your parents have long since hibernated, and you have nothing to worry about here. If that's the case, why don't you go for it?"

"There are not many opportunities for a person to change his life in this life, usually just a few times. If you have the opportunity, you must seize it..."

Although he was bewitched by Chu Qiguang, Jiang Longyu didn't immediately agree to go to Tianwai at that time. After all, he was no longer the brash kid who went forward bravely and was fearless.

The outer world may not endanger the body of the main body, but all kinds of dark secrets, twisted knowledge, terrifying gods... these are the most terrible poisons for consciousness.

That's why Jiang Longyu has always preferred to slowly accumulate and improve in the big man's body, rather than descend to take risks in the outer world.

"Such a dangerous thing is only the unlucky guy who was an enemy of Chu Qiguang before and owed him a lot of debt..."

'Or those old hapless people who were caught out of the coffin to work and owed Chu Qiguang a life would do it. '

Originally, Jiang Longyu thought so, but now seeing his income drop sharply, he remembered what Chu Qiguang said again, and his original idea seemed to gradually start to waver.

At the same time, except for Jiang Longyu, the other eight Xinghan generals also applied for the mission or training in the next few days.

It seems that there is an unprecedented terror, in a way that they themselves are not aware of, constantly urging them to escape from this world.

……

Aberration Empire.

Negotiations on the currency issue are going very well.

With the help of Xudao Palace, the Federation and Dahan World, the Abnormal Empire uses the debt issued by Xudao Palace as the main anchor, and conducts online transactions with the Federation, using digital currency as the main form, and is supervised by the Alliance of the Heavens Currency issuance under the condition of exchange rate.

Under the active leadership of the Three Saints of the Heavens, and with the cooperation of Wu Wuji's spiritual undercurrent, all preparations were carried out quickly.

In just half a year, the spiritual undercurrent of the distortion empire has completed the interconnection with the federal quantum network.

At the same time, the census of the entire empire, the opening of national accounts, and various supporting identity policies, residence policies, domestic economic policies, foreign trade policies, investment promotion, etc., are also being improved in an orderly manner. .

With the federation's countless years of experience in governing, coupled with the thinking network that distorts the undercurrent of the empire's mind, all these processes are faster than imagined. Even Li Yaofeng, the person involved, always feels incredible for this speed.

In his feeling, this negotiation is not what they are talking about at all. What they are facing is the thinking network composed of the entire distortion empire. know.

And behind them is the Federation's quantum network. Countless decisions and information will be sent to them continuously. Most of the time, they only need to be a microphone on the stage.

'It's like countless people from the two countries are sitting at the negotiating table, negotiating for their own interests... It's unbelievable that one side is assimilated in thinking and empathy, while the other side is calm, rational, and calm. . '

Whether it is the Distorted Empire or the Federation, these two social structures have shown Li Yaofeng unlimited potential. Sometimes he can't help but start to think if the Dahan World also uses this method, will it become worse than it is now? More aggressive.

On the one hand, Li Yaofeng was busy assisting in the preparations for the currency issuance, and on the other hand, she was helping Qian Wangsun find a target in the Abnormal Empire.

The initial search made Li Yaofeng very confused, because Qian Wangsun himself couldn't tell what he was looking for. Li Yaofeng just followed him around and watched him inexplicably arrange hundreds of different things at a stretch every day. The target spacecraft ended up with only one or two of them.

And after arriving at the target location, he often just came down to the spot for a few laps and then went back.

Li Yaofeng has never heard of this method of finding things, and it feels like a nonsense.

But gradually, Li Yaofeng discovered some of the doorways.

Qian Wangsun seemed to have some kind of spiritual sense of god and god. Many times, he just walked a few steps in one direction to know whether he could find what he wanted.

It's like when playing chess, the piece in his hand seems to never fall down, just dangling on the chessboard, watching the different results after each piece he puts down.

Just when Li Yaofeng became more and more curious about his special ability, they found a building with an obvious fairy style in the depths of the Mother River of the Abnormal Empire, and found a large number of people who were completely crazy in it. A distortion of wisdom.

What Qian Wangsun asked Li Yaofeng to do was to control these mutants and try to read the residual memories in their minds.

When she saw those deformed bodies that were no longer human-shaped but had a face similar to that of the Scarlet Mother, Li Yaofeng finally couldn't help asking: "She..."

But before he could ask, Qian Wangsun seemed to already know what he was going to ask, and said directly: "The thing I'm looking for is indeed related to a woman, and the appearance of that woman is very similar to the human form of the Crimson Mother." .”

"But that woman's soul, consciousness, or any memory should have no connection with the current distortion empire, but it may have a certain degree of homology in power..."

Regarding Qian Wangsun's explanation, Li Yaofeng felt that there were still many secrets hidden in it, but there was nothing he could do if the other party didn't want to talk about it.

Next, Li Yaofeng and the other party captured some mutants and tried to read the other party's memory.

But soon Li Yaofeng gave up on this point: "No, these aberrants have no systematic memory at all, and their physical structure seems...doesn't support the operation of consciousness, so they can only maintain a kind of unconscious madness state."

Qian Wangsun frowned and said, "You mean someone intentionally made these mutants brainless?"

Li Yaofeng touched his chin, controlled the tentacles to pierce into the flesh and blood of the deformed body, and said while analyzing: "Well, there is no place reserved for thinking, judgment and other organs at all. Actions are unconscious."

As the two continued to go deeper, they saw various experimental sites along the way, but most of the equipment and rituals had been removed, leaving only an empty space.

And when they opened a sealed door at the bottom, what appeared in front of them was a bottomless pit, and countless corpses of women with the same dress and appearance were randomly discarded in it.

Although these corpses were motionless and lifeless, they were incorruptible and incorruptible, and they all kept the appearance in front of them, with their limbs twisted and their bodies messily pushed there.

Looking at these female corpses discarded in the deep pit like rag dolls, Li Yaofeng inspected them and said in surprise: "These mutants are somewhat similar to the 'gods' of the mutant empire, and their flesh and blood do not conform to the normal way of heaven. The result of the operation..."

Then Li Yaofeng pointed at the eyebrows of a female corpse, and her powerful perception rushed towards the other's brain, trying to read the memory that the other party might have stored in the creature's brain.

Soon, various chaotic memory fragments appeared in his eyes and kept flashing by.

Infinite sea of ​​blood...

crazy pain...

Never ending experimentation...

There are also many women's backs...

Li Yaofeng shook her head: "It's still a broken memory. The brains of these mutants can't be used normally at all. The people who created them didn't intend to let them have brains at all. I need time to analyze..."

"No need." Qian Wangsun frowned and turned to leave: "Let's go."

Li Yaofeng asked: "You already know the result of my analysis?"

Qian Wangsun glanced at the other party, seemed to think for a while, and then said: "They are the prototype distortions of the so-called 'gods' of the distortion empire, and all the 'gods' of the empire originated from these experiments."

"But the 'god' is just an accidental product of the experiment. The real purpose pursued by the large number of laboratories in the distortion empire is to create the original distortion, or the original monster."

As if he could see Li Yaofeng's question in advance, Qian Wangsun simply explained: "The original deformed body refers to the original deformed body."

"In the golden age, there is no such thing as flesh and blood, and there is no so-called flesh and blood life in the universe. The original flesh and blood, derived from the creation of great civilizations, is a tool they use to interfere with the material universe."

"The original mutant is the original form of flesh and blood, a tool without consciousness. This is the mainstream judgment of the study of great civilizations in the universe."

"But the host of this experiment has a different idea. He believes that the reason why the individuals of great civilizations did not create consciousness at the beginning is not that they are afraid of the backlash of their own creations. With their strength, there is no need to worry about these."

"The reason they didn't create consciousness is simply...that there was no such thing as 'consciousness' in the past universe."

Li Yaofeng was slightly taken aback when he heard the words: "Then... the great civilization has no consciousness? How is it possible?"

Qian Wangsun shook his head: "Why is it impossible? The existence of all things does not necessarily require consciousness. I have seen too many substances that have existed for a longer time than all civilizations, and I have seen many things that are going to self-destruct. civilization."

"Whether it is consciousness or intelligence, it has never been a necessity to survive in our universe."

"Great civilizations do not have consciousness, and their actions are based on a logic far higher than consciousness, even illogical. This is not a completely impossible conjecture."

"Perhaps it is precisely because they have no consciousness, so in order to better interfere with the universe, they created consciousness after creating flesh and blood, and even created a series of logic contained in the way of heaven."

"Whether it is flesh and blood or consciousness, they are tools created by them, and all the history of the universe from the golden age to now is under the control of great civilizations."

"This is the conjecture of the host of this experiment on the great civilization and the current universe."

Li Yaofeng rubbed the center of her brows, constantly digesting what Qian Wangsun said: "Then what is the result of this series of experiments? What did they create in the end?"

Qian Wangsun sighed: "I don't know."

"But the experiment is indeed over. Long before we mastered the distortion empire, the experiment here was over."

"But don't worry. Over the years, I have seen too many conjectures related to great civilizations. There are many more outrageous conjectures than this in the Federation."

"Whatever results they get here, it doesn't look like it's had an impact yet."

……

At the same time, on an icy planet not far from the border of the Distorted Empire.

On the surface of a barren and lonely planet where no trace of life can be found, there are three people standing abruptly.

Two of them sat cross-legged, facing each other.

One of them said, "Do you believe in a Creator?"

"Our universe seems to be chaotic and random, but in fact it has always operated according to a strict logic. If there is a slight error in this rigorous logic, it is impossible for the current universe to appear."

"Everything in this world is not a coincidence, but a set of mature and perfectly operating laws."

"This law is the way of heaven, and the great civilization that created the way of heaven is the creator of our universe."

Hearing what the other party said, Yao Sheng smiled slightly and said: "Your condition seems to be serious again, do you want me to prescribe you some medicine?"

"Sick? I'm not crazy, I've never felt better!"

The other party smiled and said: "Great civilization, listen to this name, most intelligent life always like to imagine the Creator as a 'god' with wisdom, personality and consciousness."

"After entering the era of high technology, I still have this bad habit. I always like to imagine the Creator as an advanced civilization with super technology."

"Wrong, all wrong, the Creator has no consciousness at all, and does not need such useless things as 'consciousness'. Consciousness is an illusion and the source of disaster. Our universe has become what it is now, from the day when consciousness was born start……"

"Whether it's me or Xuannv, consciousness is just our tool, not the real us..."

Seeing the other party talking non-stop, Yao Sheng touched his face helplessly: "I'm not here to discuss this with you, Zhou Bai, can we talk about something useful?"

"If you continue to waste our time like this, I can only call Master Ji over to talk to you. You have to understand that you can regain your freedom now because of us."

The 'Zhou Bai' in front of him curled his lips and sighed: "Vulgar, it's too vulgar, opening and closing your mouth is all for profit."

"If it weren't for going back to the golden age to finally verify my conjecture, I wouldn't cooperate with laypeople like you..."

While speaking, he saw streaks of black mist floating out from his palm. Looking carefully... there seemed to be countless human faces moving in the mist.

"This is what you want, and I will arrange corresponding cooperation from the Federation."

"It's enough for you to completely reap the distortion empire and crack Chu Qiguang's plan to issue currency in the empire."

After seeing the disappearance of 'Zhou Bai' in front of him, Luo Chenzi who was standing beside the demon saint asked, "This Zhou Bai is..."

The demon saint said casually: "One of Zhou Bai's many peers represents the 'crazy' in the nine disasters of heaven and man. He was once in charge of some distortion experiments, and he was also one of the high-level officials in the Taoist Palace of Absolute Beginning."

"Okay, I can't talk too much, Zhou Bai's body will hear it."

"Next, you will cooperate with the Federation as I said..."

A trace of fear suddenly flashed in Luo Chenzi's eyes, and he said worriedly: "But what if Chu Qiguang makes a move?"

The demon saint smiled and said: "The curtain has been drawn, and the good show is about to begin, and the part you are responsible for is only the end of the matter."

……

Not long after the currency issuance plan was launched, the number of void disasters in the distortion empire continued to rise, and the data of magic dye was rising every day.

This didn't go unnoticed at first, as it seemed normal for these things to happen in the Aberration Empire.

On the contrary, after the currency was issued, a large number of commercial activities and trade activities began to be carried out between the distortion empire and the universe, and the entire empire was thriving inside and outside.

Especially in the next few years, the aberration empire will lend a large amount of currency issued to various federal consortiums, and the consortium will use these currencies to rent and purchase the territory of the aberration empire, recruit aberrations as employees, open factories locally, and purchase resources... …

In the process, the people of the Distorted Empire joined the federation's production chain, earning currency, producing consumption, and receiving education.

As time passed, more and more aberrants began to leave the empire, followed by trade to the whole universe, and even went to the Federation and Xia Xing to study abroad.

Some of them showed extraordinary talents, and helped the Federation and Dahan conduct various in-depth studies on void, distortion, distortion, and magic dyeing...

The trade volume between the two top civilizations continued to surge, the Aberration Empire developed rapidly, and the Federation earned a lot of resources and labor.

With the large-scale transactions of the two top civilizations, Chu coins, Shi coins, and Tai debts have also seen their status surge, and their prices have become more stable, becoming more and more popular hard currencies in the universe.

The extensive use of Chu coins has also led to a sharp increase in the volume of trade in the entire universe. Any goods from the heavens and the world can reach any corner of the universe in an instant. An unprecedented prosperous era of the universe seems to gradually reveal itself in front of countless civilizations. veil.

And because of economic development and frequent exchanges with major civilizations in the universe, the aberrants in the aberrant empire are constantly learning.

With the development of the commodity economy and the impact of the Internet, there are constantly aberrants who pay more and more attention to the concept of self, but are repeatedly assimilated because of the thinking network established by the spiritual undercurrent, and all these further promote the development of the commodity economy. develop.

Just when everything was thriving and full of vigor, the void disaster broke out rapidly, and more and more mutants of the empire spread the magic to the federal territory.

In order to prevent the further spread of the magic dye, the Federation began to monitor the imperial aberrations in the territory, and the isolation policy on the exchanges between the two sides was quickly implemented.

At the same time, the detection of magic dyeing has also begun to be set up between the levels of the two major civilizations.

However, the number of magic dye outbreaks did not decrease with the implementation of these policies, and even began to appear in more civilizations, and the hostility towards aberrations surged again in the universe.

Soon large-scale testing was carried out throughout the Federation, more and more void disasters and aberrations continued to appear, and various negative incidents broke out in succession.

The economy and trade of the aberrant empire, which has just been on the right track, have been severely hit by the outbreak of the magic dye, because a large number of border checkpoints have been closed, transportation has been interrupted, and business has been suspended... The income of the aberrants has also begun to drop sharply, and a large number of Factories and businesses were bankrupt.

Wu Wuji had to issue a large amount of currency and loans to support the operation of the entire empire.

At the same time, a large number of interruptions in trade have also caused the price of Chu coins to continue to fall.

The additional currency issuance of the Distortion Empire and fluctuations in the price of Chu coins have begun to trigger drastic changes in the Taibon market.

……

The mother river, the deep bottom.

This was the dormitory of Our Lady of Xuhe, and it is still the place where the body of Our Lady of Xuhe is stored.

And in front of the huge body of the Holy Mother of Xuhe, the corpse of a young girl is kneeling in the sea of ​​blood with her palms folded.

Qian Wangsun and Li Yaofeng made preparations for some kind of ceremony not far from the female corpse.

Li Yaofeng said: "...According to my research and technical restoration in the past few years, with the powerful distortion power remaining on the Virgin of Xuhe, today's ritual should be able to re-establish the relationship between her and the person you are looking for." connection between."

"But are you sure you want to do this?"

"Once contact is re-established, I'm not sure what will happen."

Qian Wangsun nodded: "We must find her, let's do it."

Li Yaofeng shrugged, and while preparing for the arrangement of rituals, she said, "There have been so many major events in the Federation recently, so it doesn't matter if you still put all your thoughts here?"

Qian Wangsun said: "The cosmic economic crisis that is about to erupt stems from the violent fluctuations in the debt, and the fluctuations in the debt originate from the excessive currency issuance of the Aberrant Empire, and this series of changes is caused by the current continuous changes inside and outside the Federation. Explosive magic dye."

Li Yaofeng wondered: "So?"

Qian Wangsun: "With the power of the Federation, it is theoretically impossible to suppress these demons. The main reason for the current chaos is the flaws of the Federation itself. This is a natural disaster caused by changes in the universe environment. But it is also a man-made disaster triggered by a crisis within civilization."

"But these are just appearances. All the outbreaks of conflicts at the bottom often originate from crises at the top."

He sighed, and then said: "For example, Zhou Bai's situation is an important reason for the current crisis. As long as he can recover to a full state, many problems can be solved easily. This is why Chu Qiguang supports us in doing these things now. reason……"

……

Just when various changes took place successively in the Great Han World, the Distorted Empire, and the Federation.

In the Xudao Palace, the Taishang Tianzun who was quietly cultivating on the altar suddenly opened his eyes, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart.

With his current state, there is absolutely no such thing as illusion. Since there is an unusual feeling in his heart, it must be that something is about to happen.

While calculating silently in his heart, he projected to the ghost world to contact Chu Qiguang and Zhou Bai, but found that he couldn't contact the ghost world.
