Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day
Chapter 28 The Definition of Perfection (5600, Seeking Monthly Tickets~)
To be fair, according to Bai Yingxue's 【Perfect Second Life Plan】, she never considered revealing her true identity to the Zheng Country government so soon.
Twenty days ago, on the evening of June 10, 2018, Bai Yingxue, the former immortal deity, the Xuan Water Ice Phoenix, was reborn in her younger years.
She planned to use her memories of various intelligence and information to obtain opportunities for herself, quickly become stronger, and better protect the world.
Although it would consume a lot of resources, she could become stronger than she was in her previous life, and naturally do better than she did in her previous life. For the world, this was a win-win situation.
Bai Yingxue originally thought so with satisfaction, but reality gave her a heavy blow.
【…The manufacturing progress of the second-generation space fighter has reached 65%. Thanks to our alien friends, engineer Poni Song from the Tarin civilization and engineer i-Gral from the Kro civilization for their enthusiastic assistance!】
"What the hell?! I knew the Tarin people were just spectators, but when did the Kro people join hands with us?! And this is only 2018, right?"
Bai Yingxue, who had spent several days making a detailed plan, felt her head buzzing when she saw this news.
Afterward, she spent at least three hours figuring out from various complicated news that the Kro civilization, which should have invaded on a large scale several years later, was now as docile as a domesticated cat—the line of alien engineers cooperating with various national organizations was proof of this.
Browsing through the list of alien engineers, Bai Yingxue was still somewhat unable to accept it: "Seriously?! The exploration ship was shot down directly? And it's Su Mowang again?!"
"I fought a full fifteen years of interstellar warfare before finally defeating the other side through a beheading operation… Now we're directly cooperating, and some people can even serve as new spaceship designers?"
"Doesn't this world even have alien invasions? Plus, the Zhimachizai (AI Disaster) is nowhere to be seen, and Tang Yuan has become Su Mowang's secretary… Then what am I reborn for? This is already better than the 'perfection' I imagined!"
In theory, Bai Yingxue, who had deep blood feuds with the Kro people, felt speechless and just wanted to curse when she saw the current situation.
But there was nothing she could do.
Because, the definition of perfection is limited by the definer's knowledge and imagination.
For a girl who had experienced hundreds of battles, countless natural and man-made disasters, and various evil invasions, it would be perfect as long as she could defeat all the invaders and prevent Earth's civilization from being destroyed in a series of catastrophes.
But… sometimes, there are people in this world who are unreasonable, whose lower limit is higher than the upper limit of others.
In short, although it wasn't impossible to understand, Bai Yingxue was confused by the various situations in this world to a completely new level.
And if she wanted to answer her doubts, it was impossible without joining the Zheng Country government and obtaining internal information. The ordinary people living in the outside world could never know the confidential information related to the strong.
"Now, it's 2018."
At the street entrance in front of the Magic City Security Bureau, the girl lowered her head and muttered to herself.
In Bai Yingxue's original world, Earth's situation hadn't reached a crisis at this time.
Whether it was the invaders and heavenly demons from various other worlds and space-time realms; the crazy visitors from all over the universe who came for adventure and exploration; or the large-scale alien invaders… they hadn't officially appeared yet.
At that time, although the earth was in chaos due to various man-made disasters caused by the three major mysterious organizations, the countries could barely cope and gradually suppress the mysterious organizations one by one—so Bai Yingxue wanted to take advantage of this last peaceful time to get some opportunities in advance, make herself stronger, and tell the officials the truth when she had more weight.
After all, only by cooperating with the government can she mobilize more resources, better grasp the situation, and keep the future progress under her control.
Therefore, in the twenty days since her rebirth, even though she was full of doubts about the current world, Bai Yingxue still tried to obtain some resources from her previous life according to her plan, so that her second life could be more exciting and powerful.
And if someone from her previous life knew about this plan, they would definitely be shocked and speechless, or even think that Bai Yingxue was crazy.
Because what she was going to do was to hunt one of the advanced creations from the Galactic Upper Kingdom, the Cenos Theta civilization.
The Mother Nest Core!
In the previous life, after spending a long time and resources, the people of Earth finally defeated the Kro people and suppressed their home star, which was the former Enterprise Alliance industrial planet, the 'Mechanical Manufacturing Production United General Administration'.
Subsequently, Earth's civilization obtained a large number of extremely valuable advanced interstellar technologies from the Kro civilization's home star database and various ancient databases derived from the Enterprise Alliance.
At that time, Earth's civilization happily believed that the days of suffering were about to end, the most dangerous war had ended, and with the various technologies and productivity obtained from suppressing the Kro civilization, Earthlings could resist the enemies invading from various space-time realms, vigorously develop productivity, and restore peace to the Earth's homeland.
However.
The 'Holy Land Guardians', the Upper Kingdom Cenos Theta, suddenly appeared in front of the then-happy Earth civilization, and announced in a tone that was not arrogant but not respectful that Earth's civilization should join their 'Galactic Guardians Alliance' to fight against the 'Otherworld Disaster' that was constantly invading the cosmic starry sky.
To be honest, the Cenos Theta civilization wasn't bad.
After semi-compelling Earth's civilization to join the 'Guardians Alliance', they disclosed a lot of technical data to Earth's civilization to help Earth's civilization develop, including even the data on battle suits, and even the secrets of some warship battle suit core technologies, which could not be said to be ungenerous.
But it was also because of this that Earthlings realized that the other party had been observing them since 2018!
Even because of some of their mistakes, the tools used by the Cenos Theta people to observe Earth caused great harm to the Earthlings at that time.
For example, the monster that appeared in the summer of 2019 in the East China Sea of Zheng Country, the super life named 'Mother Nest', was a typical example.
At that time, the Mother Nest, which had lost control for some reason and had been growing for about a year, was extremely huge in size. When it floated on the sea, it was like a mobile island.
This out-of-control Mother Nest, which possessed the power of a Peak Level Ruler, devoured many sea beasts with various strange bloodlines in the seabed at that time, created a large number of out-of-control beast soldiers, and launched attacks on Zheng Country, Ying Zhou, and Southeast Asian countries at the same time, destroying several cities.
In addition, the main body of the Mother Nest also held a large number of advanced weapons of the Cenos Theta civilization, coupled with its huge body, it was simply like an unsinkable fortress, a mobile natural disaster.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Descending Spirit Society also took the opportunity to create a large number of mutated sea beasts, attacking the coasts of the Ross Federation, the European Union, and the Americas, forcibly dragging down part of the combat power of these major forces, so that people could not gather their forces to destroy the Mother Nest.
Bai Yingxue still remembered that at that time, the future Dragon King Jiu Ming was not yet mature, and was almost caught and eaten as a snack in the process of intercepting the Mother Nest. The navies of various countries were even retreating steadily, unable to stop the footsteps of this behemoth.
In the end, the countries of the Earth, including Su Zhou and many other powerful people from various countries, joined forces, coupled with saturated thermonuclear weapons, and experimental phase transition missiles bombed all the way from the East China Sea to the South China Sea, before completely extinguishing its vitality and sinking its flesh into the seabed.
But it was also because of this that the various parties who had joined forces at that time had conflicts over dividing the various technologies and materials in the Mother Nest's corpse.
Not to mention the Mother Nest flesh, which was divided according to the number of people who contributed.
The Mother Nest's core crystal, an energy source with a trace of a special 'activation force', was a supreme treasure that could greatly enhance the strength and concentration of any bloodline.
It could be said that as long as there was this core crystal, several extremely powerful Quasi Dao cultivators could be cultivated directly regardless of any conditions.
For it, countries fought openly and secretly until they finally compromised with each other and held an international fighting competition to determine the order of division according to the final ranking.
In the end, Su Zhou won first place and obtained the largest share of the Mother Nest core, greatly strengthening the 'Conquering Sky Ying Dragon' bloodline, successfully sublimating his true body, and laying the cornerstone for becoming the number one powerhouse in Zheng Country in the future.
In short, because of this incident, the Earth civilization in the previous life had a very poor impression of the Cenos Theta civilization, and the existence of the 'Otherworld Disaster' once again slowed down the development steps of Earth's civilization, causing the Earth, which could have restored peace, to fall into turmoil again.
At that time, Bai Yingxue had just begun to cultivate and initially understood the Phoenix bloodline she possessed.
In the previous life, she only learned about this history within the official organization a few years later, so naturally she didn't get half of the Mother Nest crystal.
But in this life…
Not to mention that Su Zhou is already the strongest on Earth, and his bloodline is still the ridiculously strong Zhuzhou Dragon… In short, based on the information from the past, Bai Yingxue can roughly determine that at this point in time, the Mother Nest has just fallen from outside the stars.
It is not as strong as it was in the previous life, and it is still very weak!
If she can defeat the Mother Nest at this time, then she can not only eliminate a harm for future humans, but also strengthen the Divine Phoenix bloodline now, making herself several steps ahead on the road to becoming a strong person!
That's what Bai Yingxue thought, and that's exactly what she did.
In just a few days, she bought talismans, modified cloud patterns, and went to the East China Sea alone, using her excellent detection spells to search for more than ten hours, and finally found the Mother Nest near an uninhabited deserted island.
An alien creature that looked like a sea anemone, preying on local plants and animals to accumulate biological energy!
Without any hesitation, she directly attacked.
After an extremely difficult battle, Bai Yingxue killed the Mother Nest, which was still in its nascent form, by herself.
This time, although not much, the core crystal of the Mother Nest all belonged to her.
"This is not bad – at that time, the out-of-control Mother Nest attacked major coastal cities, and the beast soldiers alone killed more than a million people, but now, they will not die."
In a sense, Bai Yingxue did rob some future Quasi Dao cultivators of the resources to go further, but she didn't feel sorry for it.
On the contrary, she seemed very confident: "If I become stronger, I can definitely protect humans better than those guys. This Mother Nest crystal should belong to me!"
"Moreover, with the Mother Nest core, I can also sense the other two reconnaissance units of the Cenos Theta people lurking on Earth… When the time comes, I will provide this information to the Zheng Country government anonymously."
At that time, Bai Yingxue thought very beautifully.
However, when she tried to sense the other two reconnaissance units with the relevant control components of the Mother Nest core, the result made the girl's heart turn cold and her face pale.
Because… what she saw was the central laboratory of the Zheng Country Dao Discipline Bureau, and the scenery of the Zheng Country Security Bureau branch in Black Continent!
Around the two reconnaissance units she sensed, there were scientists wearing white coats, or heavily armed Black Emperor Guards surrounding them!
"Before I killed the Mother Nest, these two Cenos Theta detection units, which should have been hidden better in theory… Have they already been discovered and put into the laboratory?!"
This shocking fact immediately made Bai Yingxue stunned in place, unable to speak for a long time.
After a long time, she trembled and muttered to herself: "Mom, Mom! So, did the Zheng Country government discover the other two detection units long ago (;?д?!)?!"
"If that's the case, then the Mother Nest should have been discovered too – even if not, with the connection I just made by activating the Mother Nest, the Security Bureau will definitely be able to find this place quickly, and then follow the clues – I will be discovered too!"
"What to do… The plan is completely disrupted…"
After returning to her old home in Magic City in a daze, Bai Yingxue, who was somewhat lost by this shocking fact, finally understood and woke up.
"Could it be that I wasn't reborn at all, but traveled to a parallel world?!"
"Or, I just had a dream… An extremely realistic dream that deduced the future, but ignored many key elements, so that the world's direction is completely different?"
"A dream of Nanke, or Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly… Oh well. At least now, I am still thinking, and can still think, that's enough."
It took a lot of time to barely suppress the shaking in her heart.
Since then, Bai Yingxue had the idea of directly finding the Zheng Country government, revealing her identity as a 'reborn person', telling the government her information, which she didn't know if it was outdated, and using this to join the Security Bureau.
After all, she may have been discovered by the government.
Although it was only possible, this kind of thing should not be risked in the first place.
Instead of hiding, it is better to take the initiative to inform them, which is more favorable.
"Anyway, according to the policies I knew at the beginning, people like me must be given preferential treatment – not to mention anything else, the existence of the Mother Nest proves that my memory must have a certain degree of authenticity, so many information, even if most of it cannot be used, there are still many that can be used."
"Now that things have come to this, there is nothing to be afraid of."
Evening, June 30, 2018.
After hesitating for a full two and a half hours, the reborn Bai Yingxue gritted her teeth.
"Anyway, I have a clear conscience in my last life, and I haven't done anything bad in this life. Since this world is already more perfect than I imagined, then my choice cannot make it worse."
She made up her mind, drank the milk tea in the cup in one gulp, threw the bottle into the trash can, and then walked into the Zheng Country Security Bureau registration office.
For the passers-by on the side, all of this was not strange.
However, there were blurred lights flashing around the crowded streets.
【Target has entered the Magic City Security Bureau.】
In the shadows, on the balconies of buildings, and in the corners of streets and alleys, a total of eighteen members of the Magic City Security Bureau's special operations team, who were invisible and lurking, were simultaneously staring at their target, Bai Yingxue's figure, using the observation system on their exoskeleton armor.
Among them, after seeing Bai Yingxue's actions, the captain of the team reported to the existence on the other end using spiritual frequency: 【Is it necessary to capture it directly?】
【…No, she should have realized that we noticed her, so she came over to confess. If that's the case, then there's no need to do anything.】
The person on the other end seemed to be processing other documents. After a few seconds, he replied calmly: 【Let her in – Bai Yingxue, right? I'll wait for her in the Quiet Room Five.】
【Received.】
At this moment.
After entering the Security Bureau, registering the purpose of 'reporting confidential matters', and repeatedly confirming that she was not joking, and signing a guarantee, Bai Yingxue was finally allowed to enter the bright hall of the Magic City Security Bureau.
【Welcome, Ms. Bai Yingxue. Your application for 'reporting confidential matters' has been approved. Please allow me to guide you to the secret room to connect with relevant intelligence personnel.】
Just as she entered the hall, a 3D projection appeared in front of Bai Yingxue.
A young female cultivator, who should be an intelligent Ai, but with ears that seemed to be from a iron-eating beast on the projection, bowed slightly and greeted her politely.
3D projections were already very developed at this time, and were almost indistinguishable from real people.
【Although it has been confirmed again and again, Ms. Bai Yingxue, are you really sure that you have a 'Class A confidential matter' to report? According to the 'guarantee' you signed, if it is proved that you are lying, then you may be sentenced to a crime of endangering national security.】
At this time, the bear-eared Ai female was performing the last guide confirmation with a very professional ethic.
But now Bai Yingxue was staring in shock at the bear ears on the other party's head, and the aesthetically pleasing, extremely modern close-fitting uniform on her body, simply unable to take her eyes off.
"Eh… Eh?! Beast-eared girl, when did the Security Bureau become so humane Σ(?д?!)?!"
She couldn't help but exclaim. She couldn't blame the girl for being so surprised.
After all, in her memory, the Zheng Country Security Bureau has always been an ultimate old antique organization guarded by a group of conservative old men, whose uniforms haven't been changed since 1965, whose exoskeleton armor coatings are always the same few sets, and whose internal personnel's clothing is completely ascetic.
Not that it's bad, after all, in that era full of suffering, being serious can actually improve the sense of security…
But the current situation is completely the opposite, right?
Even the internal guidance Ai of the Security Bureau can use beast-eared girls as their image… Just how much sense of security and relaxation do the people of Zheng Country in this world have?
Because of this shock, Bai Yingxue did not move her eyes away from the pair of bear ears and the uniform until she was guided to the quiet room used for confidential conversations.
"It's too incredible…"
The girl muttered to herself all the way, entered the quiet room, and then turned her head to look at the relevant affairs reception staff who were waiting for her.
However, with just one glance, Bai Yingxue's brain crashed again.
"How, how could it be you?!"
She subconsciously raised her hand, and for a moment even had the idea of condensing a spell to attack – but Bai Yingxue was, after all, a former immortal deity… Even if it wasn't a rebirth, she at least had real immortal deity memories, and the stability belonging to an immortal deity.
With an extremely powerful will, she swallowed the shock into her stomach, and for a moment she didn't even know what to say.
Although she had long known that the other party in this world was likely not the same existence as in her previous life.
But even so, when she saw the other party with her own eyes, Bai Yingxue still couldn't keep calm.
Because, sitting in the quiet room, the 3D projection that was waiting for her… was one of the sources of disaster that she was very familiar with in her previous life.
Tang Yuan.
One of the cores of the disaster 【AI Disaster】, a powerhouse holding the strongest spiritualization and enlightening power in the new era.
'Spirit King' Tang Yuan!
Although it is said to be the previous life, many of them are some plots that Guai Sha couldn't write at the beginning… Let's just treat it as the original timeline!
After there are chapter comments on Monday, I will update more vigorously! Now I'm asking for a monthly ticket first!
