Chapter 502 Using Gods to Nurture Humanity in This Era (12,000 Words, Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

"The God of Wishpower isn't so easy to condense, and if it's condensed and then goes out of control, it's an even bigger problem. Back then, a small part of the Sun God's physical body accidentally collapsed due to cultivation, and the overflowing torrent of flames evaporated the ocean of one realm, filling the entire world with pale, high-temperature gas clouds. Why should we repeat the same mistake?"

"Gathering easily uncontrolled power together to suppress it is indeed a sound idea. But, Su Zhou, this also means that if He loses control, it will be as terrifying as all the nuclear power plants losing control together... In that case, who would dare to gamble?"

The Artisan Sage's words were simple and easy to understand, truly befitting of someone with a science and engineering background.

"One has to say, that's indeed the case."

Hearing this, Su Zhou pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.

He could understand what the Holy Seats were thinking.

The current situation was that nuclear power plants, due to the presence of high spiritual energy, could indeed lead to the manifestation of sentience and subsequent loss of control, causing losses. Therefore, spirit-sealing talismans were used to suppress the sentience, and special dedicated zones were constructed to dilute the wishpower. Even so, it couldn't be said to be foolproof.

But in that case, even if there was a loss of control, it would only be one at a time. With the foundation of Zheng Nation, suppressing individual, incomplete Golden Crows wasn't actually that difficult.

Creating an unstable God of Wishpower, however, could potentially set back the progress of human history by decades if He lost control.

Of course, some countries might think that's a good thing—but that was just a joke.

"It doesn't matter, Professor Su, don't worry."

At this point, the Artisan Sage shook his head slightly, his gaze returning to firmness: "Anyway, it's just another technical problem, and it can always be overcome. The fact that nuclear fusion energy can be used now is better than nothing, and the development progress is far beyond our imagination. Overall, it's all good, with only a few minor flaws—and how can technology be perfect anyway? It always needs constant repairs and improvements."

Turning his head, the Artisan Sage looked at Su Zhou, forcefully shifting the topic: "Speaking of which, the increased electricity consumption brought about by nuclear fusion, as well as the accumulation of heat, leading to the greenhouse effect, and the drastic changes to the environment it causes, are actually very terrifying. So, related natural transformations must be prepared in advance."

"Look, wasn't the Agrarian Sage leading a group of people to carry out afforestation and transformation all over the place recently? I remember you and your friend participated."

"Qiming? Oh, I remember."

Although the topic was diverted, Su Zhou didn't mind. Hearing this, he couldn't help but feel a bit enlightened: "The greening and transformation of the Northwest Gobi and Meng Province... I see, so there was this purpose as well."

Back then, he felt that it was a bit too much of a waste of resources for a Holy Seat to lead so many cultivators in such a high-profile manner, even requiring him to cooperate in summoning wind and rain to promote greening... If it was just for rapid afforestation, the resources expended were a bit excessive.

After all, afforestation was something that couldn't be rushed. It wasn't uncommon to only see results after several decades. The most important thing was perseverance, not a momentary outburst.

Now, it seemed that all these related large-scale projects were actually part of a larger, long-term plan that had been implemented for decades.

He had only officially joined it not long ago, so it was normal not to know.

At this moment, the scenery between heaven and earth had already changed.

The giant city circle gradually turned into sparsely scattered towns, then wilderness, and now, plateaus and mountains.

The Azure Luan-class aircraft, flying at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, began to slow down as it approached the mountain range that resembled the spine of the world, preparing to land.

In just this short time of casual conversation, everyone had already arrived in Cang Province from Tiandu.

"Eh? This aura... Is it Golden Crow, nuclear fusion?"

A thought flickered in his mind. Su Zhou sensed a familiar aura coming from below.

To someone with divine eyes, the armor of the aircraft was virtually transparent.

So, the young man lowered his head and looked down.

Then, he saw a cluster of flames pulsating deep within the earth, and countless machines.

"Impressive!"

Subconsciously praising in a low voice, Su Zhou's eyes revealed a look of astonishment.

Because, he saw that in the mountains of Cang Province, there was a small, flat valley. And there, a small, modern city hub with a diameter of over ten kilometers was operating busily, with dozens of wide highways, like blood vessels, radiating from it to other areas of Cang Province.

In this city, there weren't many humans walking around. In contrast, there were all kinds of huge engineering machines.

Giant transport vehicles, nearly ten meters high, were busily transporting various resources, and fully automated distribution facilities allowed everyone to work with peace of mind, following the instructions of the AI to complete their tasks.

Su Zhou's gaze swept across the entire city and then gradually deepened.

He could see that the entire city hub was almost entirely composed of various automated machines and related AI. Only a few engineers were inside, making manual adjustments and monitoring. Countless complex allocation tasks were being completed in an orderly manner under the control of the AI.

And deep beneath this city hub, there was a nearly egg-shaped, semi-cylindrical facility—Su Zhou could tell that it was a nuclear fusion power generation center.

Surrounding this center, rivers formed by the melting of surface ice were being introduced as a cooling medium. Machines were excavating and expanding the underground territory—and judging from the current scale of underground excavation, the city hub above the surface seemed to be just a resource allocation station in the future. The underground was the true body of the city.

And in the center of this city, there was a long, silver metal track.

It started from there and stretched into the depths of the mountains not far away.

One could see that on both sides of the initial end of the silver track, there were a large number of magic array rune structures. Huge machines combined with each other to form a giant acceleration port.

It was currently in operation. Twenty blue crystal grid bars were being charged one by one, causing a buzzing electromagnetic wave to sound continuously.

Then, at the moment when the crystal grid bar was full, a space station component wrapped in a protective shell flew along the track at an unimaginable speed towards the end of the track in the distance, carrying a continuous blue arc of light.

There was no sonic boom exceeding thunder, nor was there an airflow strong enough to blow away tanks—at the very beginning of the track's activation, accompanied by the fluctuation of spiritual energy, the entire track was shrouded in a vacuum layer, making the accelerated objects move as if they were in the vacuum of the universe without any resistance.

Watching this scene, the Azure Luan-class aircraft landed at an airport next to the city.

—Zhumu Orbital Accelerator Center City—

If energy becomes almost unlimited, becoming cheap and convenient, and the cost of driving robots is even lower than hiring people to do it, and the intelligence of artificial intelligence reaches the point where it can complete repetitive work better than people, then automated mechanical factories and fully automated service facilities will become some kind of norm.

Su Zhou felt this at this moment—after getting off the Azure Luan-class aircraft, a self-driving airport bus arrived, and the gentle greetings and welcomes from the in-car AI made him feel quite amused.

The total population of the entire Zhumu Orbital Center City does not exceed 5,000 people, most of whom are engineering personnel... Of course, the number of remote workers far exceeds this number, but the population that works and resides here in the flesh is only this many.

Most of the construction and resource allocation work is formulated by the city's AI and three experts in related fields. The former is responsible for most of the work, and the latter only needs to pick out and correct mistakes.

Although it sounds a lot like a keyboard warrior standing and talking without back pain, picking bones in eggs, both experts and AI are very happy—which human wouldn't like to point fingers at things in their professional field? And if the AI can be picked out for mistakes, it proves that it is also making progress, and perfecting its program is its original driving force.

"Welcome to my city—at least half of the urban planning and mechanical facilities here were designed by me."

Sitting in the car with Su Zhou and Tang Yuan, the young Holy Seat laughed and opened his arms to the center city in a humorous manner: "As for the AI and some other odds and ends, they are all in charge of Yan Sage... Teacher Wu is a true genius. I felt this deeply when I studied the Art of Invention and Ingenuity under him back then, but an accident more than ten years ago made him a little depressed."

"But after the spiritual energy recovery, he got much better."

"I can see that." Su Zhou also nodded slightly—he was quite familiar with Yan Sage, so he could naturally see this.

Compared with the initial cold and dull feeling, Yan Sage's mentality has obviously improved a lot after the successful creation of the Electronic Underworld. He even smiles occasionally... As for what exactly happened back then, maybe there will be a chance to know in the future.

At this moment, unlike Su Zhou, who was seriously observing the entire urban structure, Tang Yuan couldn't help but gasp when observing this city, which was almost entirely produced and transported by intelligent machines.

The so-called traditional humanoid robots in the popular concept are actually a very niche category in the field of intelligent machines. Their professional academic name should be called androids, robots that imitate natural creatures.

Generally common intelligent machines are mostly similar to the 'Anxin Class' 'Happiness Class' housekeeping robots, irregular geometric shapes that are convenient to move.

And in the Orbital Center City, most of the intelligent machines in operation are in this category—some of them are large vehicles responsible for transporting materials, some are shovels responsible for excavation, and some are peculiar machines that integrate roadbed laying and road rolling... Each machine has relatively single functions, but when multiple machines are combined together, the efficiency is far higher than that of humans.

"This city only needs a small number of humans to manage and be responsible for providing materials, and it will continue to expand on its own, right?"

Watching all this, Tang Yuan could see that several machines were digging on both sides of the newly paved road, laying cables, and erecting base stations and charging piles. This series of work was smooth and efficient, and not only was the quality very high, but they also didn't need to rest, only needing occasional maintenance.

If it weren't for the need for engineers to supervise the machines and occasionally correct some of the bizarre programming errors they made, the entire city probably wouldn't need any humans to operate and maintain itself.

—If machines can build their own cities... Then what do humans need to do?

For some reason, Tang Yuan suddenly developed a subtle sense of urgency in his heart.

Because, if this sentence is slightly changed in its thinking, it becomes 'When humans have machines, what do they need other humans for?'

"Humans only need to manage and enjoy convenience."

As if he could see through Tang Yuan's thoughts, the Artisan Sage sitting at the front of the car said slowly.

At this time, the airport bus was following the starting end of the orbital accelerator. There, a huge rectangular factory more than a thousand meters long was emitting light from the inside.

"If it weren't for social stability, and we couldn't make most physical workers and repetitive workers unemployed overnight, we would have already popularized various intelligent machines to replace various labor."

The young Holy Seat looked at the city as if looking at his own treasure, with a smile on his face: "But even so, it is an undeniable fact that most people will be unemployed within fifteen years in the future. We will no longer have so many basic positions to provide, but in contrast, everyone can live normally without working, and the rapidly increasing productivity can supply everyone to enjoy, and there is more than enough."

"But Your Excellency, not working will also cause riots, right?"

Scratching his head, Tang Yuan probably had a lot of inspiration when he brought up similar questions because he had been with Su Zhou for a long time: "What's more, most of the people now are cultivators. If they are idle... the chaos may be a little more serious than imagined?"

"So, we are also guiding social transformation... Indeed, in the foreseeable future, most people will completely give up their efforts after losing the necessity of work and become welfare recipients who can live happily by relying on basic welfare."

And the Artisan Sage answered patiently: "Whether it is the concept of 'professional cultivator', the 'national welfare' plan, or the concept of 'national competition' recently proposed by Professor Su, they are all part of the overall social transformation plan, the purpose is to let these unemployed cultivators have something to do and have goals to look forward to."

Su Zhou did not join this discussion.

The outbreak of productivity brought about by nuclear fusion and various technologies is now, at this moment, in this small city among the mountains of Cang Province.

Looking at this city, Su Zhou seemed to see a new generation of human beings a dozen years later.

Because since they were born, material has been extremely abundant. Except for compulsory education, they have no motivation to work hard to compete for jobs—because only the smartest and most motivated people can have jobs, and the remaining 70% or 80% of the population, although they don't have jobs, can still live very happily.

Of course, so many people have no work to spend their lives, so just let them be rice worms, pigs in pigsties. I am afraid that neither they themselves nor the Holy Seats who designed this social order would agree.

Therefore, at the beginning of the spiritual energy recovery, even if the difficulties were great, all countries in the world, all officials, forcibly promoted 'national cultivation'.

Cultivation itself is something that urgently requires time. In ancient times, there was a saying of 'poor writing and rich martial arts', and cultivation requires even more. The resources it needs, including time, far exceed learning martial arts.

Now, many people cannot cultivate because of work, but in the future, everyone will have plenty of time and resources to cultivate.

But cultivation itself actually needs a goal... Especially when there is no urgent pressure on lifespan, and social welfare is not enough to support continued cultivation, most people may not provide all their motivation to cultivation. They will go to find new stimulation, to entertain, and become decadent and hedonistic.

At this time, Su Zhou's national competition plan, which covers all aspects and is almost all-inclusive, can further screen out the excellent seeds among these people and provide resources for training.

Even those who are unwilling to continue cultivating, unwilling to work, and just plan to be rice worms, their existence itself is also a cornerstone of a civilized population, and numerous competitive matches can also serve as the main entertainment program, appeasing their restlessness caused by boredom.

Everyone gets what they need.

"We already have abundant energy, abundant mechanical labor, and everyone's basic living rights will be guaranteed."

Su Zhou couldn't help but mutter to himself: "In a sense, the current human beings have already obtained the key to a great harmony society."

"Yes, that's right."

Hearing Su Zhou's approval, the Artisan Sage also responded with a smile.

At this moment, everyone had passed through the entire city and arrived next to the giant factory next to the orbital accelerator.

The airport bus stopped, and the three got out of the car and walked into it slowly like ordinary people.

"In the future, a large part of the resources will definitely be invested in related education industries. In the future, even if there are various professional academy cities and cultivation academy cities built around major academies, it will not be surprising."

"At that time, universal higher education, all human beings are experts and bachelors in related fields... How powerful will human beings be at that time?"

While walking, the Artisan Sage said, he couldn't help but let out a long breath, with light flashing in his eyes: "This is the method we want to rely on the extraordinary and technology to gradually transform the entire social form, and then catch up with and surpass the immortals and gods in the future."

"After all, even the immortals and gods cannot imprison thousands of Golden Crows and let them generate electricity all the time." Hearing this, Su Zhou nodded slightly. He had been frowning thoughtfully just now, as if he was thinking about something, and then he came back to his senses.

As for the Artisan Sage's vision for the future, he nodded with a smile, expressing his agreement: "They wouldn't think of imprisoning the Golden Crows and doing such things... After all, for them, letting the nuclear fusion power plant develop intelligence and become a demon is the truly correct path."

"And since they are the same kind, why would they let them serve mortals? Which immortal or god would do the thing of herding gods to nurture humanity?"

"That's right! The old world herded people to cultivate gods, and this world herds gods to nurture people—this is the biggest difference between our current human civilization and the immortal and god civilization!"

And after hearing Su Zhou's metaphor, the Artisan Sage was stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily, agreeing happily.

But after laughing, he couldn't help but change his face suddenly and sighed: "Unfortunately, such a future picture will take at least ten, twenty, or even decades to see... And the end of the world that Professor Su said is also more than twenty years later."

"Thinking of this, I can't help but lose my composure... This feeling is like a burst of enthusiasm being doused with ice water, almost losing the motivation to continue fighting."

"How could that be?"

Hearing this, Su Zhou couldn't help but raise his head seriously and said solemnly: "I didn't know this before... But now, seeing that humans can actually have such a future—then I will definitely do my best to let it continue."

"However, maybe it's a misperception, maybe I just like to argue."

Halfway through his words, Su Zhou changed the topic. He frowned slightly and looked around the city: "I think the society you mentioned will inevitably fall into a 'elitism' vortex in the future."

"When everyone's assets are roughly the same, then the only thing that can reflect the differences between people is who has higher cultivation and who has more knowledge—the ditch that divides the classes between people is no longer assets, but knowledge."

"Then what's wrong with that?"

The Artisan Sage asked strangely: "Isn't that a good thing?"

"Since in the future, our civilization can unconditionally support everyone and provide universal basic education, then the only motivation for humans to develop is 'whether they want to or not'—those who want to can have knowledge, and those who don't want to can enjoy a happy life."

"Those who want to move forward can move forward, and those who want to decline can decline."

The Artisan Sage shrugged and smiled: "Don't you think that's great?"

Su Zhou was silent for a while.

He frowned tightly—he had been frowning tightly since just now.

"Yes."

He said in a low voice: "Indeed."

The young man was silent for a while, and then muttered in his heart: "But innovation is not like this."

——Letting go of free will and wallowing in decadence is the prelude to reincarnation.

Just like the self-improvers entering the Celestial Realm, and the self-indulgent entering the Three Evil Paths... Such a society will cultivate a large number of rice-worm population, and only a small number of elites can lead mankind forward.

And like this... Isn't it just a more gentle Central Divine Court?

It's just because it is herding gods to nurture people, so the human race as a whole lives a happier life, but those who can transcend their own limitations, the self-innovators, are always a small part of this civilization.

The difference between such a civilization and the civilization of immortals and gods is that this small group of beings who transcend their own limitations have different names for themselves.

Moreover, such a social form will also lead to absolute solidification. Not class, but way of thinking.

In a world where resources are absolutely abundant, humans no longer need to change themselves to adapt to this world.

They can directly leave if they meet someone they don't like, and go to find people who have the same ideas as themselves... Anyway, they are not short of money or resources, so why do they have to stay with people they don't like?

In other words, it is the realization of the 'echo chamber effect' on the Internet.

The people of that era will cluster together with a group of like-minded people with similar ways of thinking, and their thinking will be solidified in the constant repetition of each other, and lose their sensitivity to 'questioning' and 'denying' others in mutual agreement and mutual praise.

When a person is used to praise and agreement, and cannot accept the slightest opinion, it will be difficult to lead to 'innovation'.

"What's more, innovation shouldn't just be the right of a few people... True innovation should be something that everyone can innovate..."

Thinking about such a future, Su Zhou frowned tightly, wanting to think of a way to break it.

"Professor Su."

But at this moment, the Artisan Sage suddenly spoke: "I guess you are thinking too far."

"What?"

Hearing this, Su Zhou raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man beside him.

The Holy Seat wearing glasses was undergoing a scan at the gate of the factory at this moment—after a few seconds, the gate opened, and a wide road was revealed to them.

And the Artisan Sage turned his head and looked at Su Zhou. He said seriously: "We have just built this city."

"It will take at least twenty or thirty years to wait for similar cities to spread all over the world—if we cannot survive the Cosmic Tribulation, then the entire Earth, and even the universe, will only have twenty or thirty years left. Thinking so far is actually meaningless."

The Artisan Sage's words actually carried a bit of self-deprecation, but it reminded Su Zhou in turn, causing him to break away from his contemplation.

The reason why Su Zhou thought so far was because he had never thought that he would fail—so his thinking defaulted to deriving towards the far future.

But in this way, he fell into a misunderstanding.

"Take one step and then think about the next. You can think a few steps ahead, but thinking about the distant future from the beginning... In essence, it is no different from pursuing a final perfect result."

In the soul space, Su Zhou's voice sounded slowly: "I see, excessively pursuing the best innovation may fall into the predicament of perfection... Is that right, Yala?"

"Very good, Su Zhou."

And the red snake spirit was coiled on the tree, she chuckled softly: "You are now getting more and more skilled at arguing with yourself, saving me a lot of effort... You deserve to be my contractor!"

After routinely bragging to Yala, Su Zhou and Tang Yuan entered the giant factory under the guidance of the Artisan Sage.

And here, is the dock where the vehicle that Su Zhou will take to Jupiter orbit this time is being built and repaired!

"'Leap Light' is a small exploration ship, fifteen meters high, twenty-seven meters wide, and eighty-five meters long, mainly to ensure that the load of the warp drive is not too large. After all, our technology in this area is indeed not comparable to aliens."

"Its design purpose is not for large-scale group operations, but is responsible for carrying strong people and quickly breaking into the enemy's key strategic locations. Its characteristic is extremely fast speed, and its disadvantage is extremely low defense."

The space warship dock was clean and tidy. In the center of the dock, there were a large number of engineers and intelligent machines repairing a teardrop-shaped spaceship suspended in mid-air by large machines.

Its whole body was sky blue, and it was covered with rune arrays that could strengthen the art of translocation. Compared with other spaceships that Su Zhou had seen, it seemed very petite. It could even be said that some large 'fishery administration ships' might be larger than it.

And this is the first spaceship of mankind equipped with a warp drive and successfully conducted a warp test flight.

Leading Su Zhou and others to this place, the Artisan Sage raised his hand and glanced at his agent terminal. He smiled and said: "Coincidentally, Captain Ketalun and Captain K-Kor are also here. These two alien friends are Professor Su's partners in this action."

Su Zhou already knew this.

The so-called action is nothing more than going to Jupiter orbit to directly contact the spaceship of the so-called Galactic Upper Kingdom, the guardian of the Holy Land, Celastia—if communication is possible, it would be a good thing. Su Zhou, Ketalun, and K-Kor are beings who can represent their respective civilizations.

If communication is not possible, then shoot down the other party. With Su Zhou's martial power, Ketalun believes that even if the Corporate Alliance, which was also a Galactic Upper Kingdom in the past, was still at its peak, it would not be able to do anything without mobilizing an entire fleet.

The Celastia civilization did not have a technical advantage back then, and the thousands of years of silent era have made them lose a lot of their heritage. The Earth side may still have some worries, but these aliens believe in Su Zhou's martial power more than the Earthlings.

At least shooting down an exploration ship is definitely no problem.

However, when Su Zhou met Ketalun and K-Kor again, both sides were shocked by each other.

"Captain Ketalun, you this is..."

At this moment, even Tang Yuan, who was acting as a secretary and recording the communication archives between the two parties, almost dropped his hands and made a typo, and his expression was full of astonishment.

Because, on top of Ketalun's body, which resembled a four-legged crab, there was a sleeping red fox covering itself with its tail.

The fox was sleeping soundly and was covered by Ketalun with a circle of translucent hood on its head, like a hat, isolating all external sounds and breath.

Su Zhou subconsciously fixed his eyes and found that it was not a Qingqiu fox, but an ordinary spirit fox... It had just developed intelligence and had no wisdom. It was a genuine traditional pet fox.

——This guy had been wearing a fox on his head when he was on Qingqiu... I didn't expect that he, an alien, would also like it?

But indeed, who wouldn't like something fluffy.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Su Zhou suppressed the surprise in his heart and officially communicated with the other party.

Compared with Ketalun, who was inseparable from the fox, the Crowe captain, K-Kor, seemed a little too silent and had not said a word so far.

【Hello, Professor Su. Long time no see, your strength is even stronger.】

The Earthlings were surprised because they didn't expect that aliens could adapt to the universal Earth culture so quickly, that is, raising pets. And Ketalun's surprise was that he didn't expect that Earthlings could improve their strength so quickly.

——This, this aura... Is already in the fifth level, and is considered a powerful psionic, right?!

Ketalun remembered that the last time he performed a mission with Su Zhou on Qingqiu, the other party was only on the verge of breaking through the fifth level at the end... But now, in less than half a year, the other party has not only broken through the fifth level, but has also become an existence that should be considered powerful in this level?

At this speed, in a few years, wouldn't this Su Zhou be able to directly become an α-level super psionic?!

And at that time, the entire Talling civilization would not be able to defeat him even if they were all added together!

In fact, even now, Ketalun's heart is a little empty... If the Crowe civilization behind the silent K-Kor might still have some confidence, the Talling civilization, which was originally an emerging civilization, may not be able to cope with even the current Su Zhou.

As long as Su Zhou takes a spaceship and breaks into their mother star, then their mother star civilization will wait to be completely destroyed! The Talling people have no power to deal with a high-level psionic capable of creating giant celestial phenomena.

One person suppresses civilization, and the existence of one person requires an entire civilization to treat it with the most solemn diplomatic etiquette.

This is the status of powerful psionics in the starry sky.

And having such a strong person as a backer to accompany them to negotiate with a Galactic Upper Kingdom also makes them feel quite confident.

"So, is the specifics the same as what is said in the document?"

Su Zhou said: "You plan to represent your respective civilizations to establish diplomatic relations with the Celastia civilization?"

【Actually, it doesn't count. We are essentially just prisoners of the Earth civilization.】

In this regard, Captain Ketalun is quite open-minded: 【Mainly because our monitoring facilities are sensitive enough to find the hidden Celastia spaceship in the fastest possible time, and if we really want to negotiate, our identity as the successor of the Corporate Alliance can also contribute to the Earth civilization's negotiations and exchanges.】

【Indeed.】Unlike the Talling people, like Ketalun, who are determined to cooperate with the Earth side and directly treat themselves as a bargaining chip, K-Kor, as a Crowe, has always maintained a silent cooperative attitude and slowly shook his tentacles.

His translator said in a deep voice: 【Also, Earthlings, this is also a good opportunity to collect information about the current situation of a Galactic Upper Kingdom... What level has their civilization recovered to? This information is very important to you and to the civilizations of our entire galaxy.】

Afterwards, Su Zhou asked the other party some more questions about the Holy Land Guardian and the 'Galaxy Star', which he was quite concerned about.

In this regard, the Crowe, who has the Corporate Alliance database, is more familiar.

【The Holy Land of the Holy Land Guardian is said to be a few 'living planets'.】

Faced with Su Zhou, even if K-Kor is unwilling to cooperate with the Earthlings, he can only honestly answer the other party's questions: 【We don't understand exactly how to be a living planet. That is the highest secret of their civilization. Any civilization that tries to peep into the true face of the living planet has been wiped out by the Celastia people from the starry sky, leaving not a speck of dust.】

【As for the Galaxy Star... We also don't know much about it. All the information we know is in the document. You should have read it. If we have to say, then in addition to bringing matter from other worlds, the 'Galaxy Star' is said to be able to send other people to other worlds.】

【It's just that no one has ever returned from another world—and we basically treat this as a joke. If it's the subspace, it's okay to say, but directly breaking through the barrier of the great universe and going to another world? How is that possible!】

"I understand, thank you for your frankness."

After withdrawing a little of the aura that he had applied to K-Kor, causing the Crowe, who had conscientiously spewed out all the information, to collapse on the ground, Su Zhou couldn't help but start thinking again.

——The silver disc, releasing shining light, can respond to other worlds, pull in resources from other worlds, and send beings from this world out...

This description, leaving aside all kinds of adjectives that are still of unknown truth, how is it so similar to the 'Heavenly God Scale'?

"No matter what, I have to know the news in this regard."

Su Zhou knew very well that his strength was certainly greatly related to Yala's guidance, but the real core was the 'Heavenly God Scale' that could send him to other worlds, collect resources and inheritances, and constantly strengthen himself.

Although Yala did not speak about this, the young man understood very well that if the Heavenly God Scale was really the core fragment of the Great Seal, then it would be very normal for it to have more than one piece.

The piece in his hand can be used normally because he met Yala and received guidance.

And the Galaxy Star in the hands of the Holy Land Guardian has obviously developed some kind of usage, but it has not been used correctly.

In short, the communication with the two aliens was very fruitful, and Su Zhou got the news he wanted.

The date of departure is in two days. At that time, Ketalun and K-Kor will take the Leap Light with Su Zhou and warp to Jupiter orbit.

"Are there any other accompanying personnel?"

【No.】

Finally, when Su Zhou asked, Ketalun replied: 【The Celastia civilization advocates individual strength. The more people there are, the lower their goodwill will be. But if it is a strong person alone, they will treat even enemies with courtesy, and then conduct a fair duel—this is part of their faith, and there has been no exception in at least the last 100,000 years.】

【When there is no conflict between the two sides, theoretically, it is best for you to go alone to negotiate, but we are captives, so in a sense, we are not considered separate individuals.】

"It's really the moral values of body cultivators."

Su Zhou nodded slightly. The moral values of most body cultivators, including the Jiuli people, are similar. Whether it is advocating power, strong people, or attaching great importance to honor, they are all the same.

Since this is the case, there are no extra questions. After the two alien friends left with their foxes, the Artisan Sage took Su Zhou to visit the inside and outside of the Leap Light.

Soon, time flies.

June 28, 2018, 4:35 PM.

There are still 5 hours before the Leap Light departs.

"Minister, the Artisan Sage just sent a message to urge you!"

"Tell him to wait a little longer, I'll take another look."

"But, this is already the twelfth message!"

"Then tell me when it's the fifteenth message."

At this moment, Su Zhou and Tang Yuan stood at an altitude of 10,000 meters, overlooking the many towering mountains below.

One could see that at the highest peak of the Earth, there was a straight silver track starting from the city in the distance and extending to its top.

The huge metal structure in the shape of '入' was like a centipede climbing on the mountain, with thousands of firm claws embedded in the rock shell, making the silver metal track extremely stable.

And on both sides of it, rune arrays processed with nanoscale skills were now flashing with visible spiritual light, absorbing the extremely rich earth spiritual energy at the spine of the world and turning it into its own use.

——Zhumu Mass Accelerator.

A 'ladder to heaven' created by mixing immortal Taoist techniques, modern technology, and machinery.

Powered by the core of the Golden Crow and propelled by the law of Thor, the huge magic array embedded in the mountain will directly open a straight 'vacuum channel' to the highest point above the Earth's atmosphere when the track is activated, so that all matter accelerated away from the Earth does not need to withstand the heating of atmospheric friction and smoothly reach the space.

Such a huge and majestic creation can simply be called a spectacle.

Looking at all this from the high altitude, Su Zhou's eyes were full of expectation and emotion.
