Chapter 1526: An Encounter in the Temple Area
It seems that the love marathon between Sheila and Xingchen will continue for a long time. In fact, according to my understanding, it is mainly from the gossip from Bingtis. It is said that the Supreme Dark Goddess's emotional problem with the Father God is still Quite enlightened, at least she did not contradict the Huron God King. After all, the number of void creatures is so sparse. If two void creatures can combine, it may be a good thing for the entire void, but these two people just can't make it happen. Mainly The problem lies precisely with the "motivated" Sheila...
If there was a crazy girl like her chasing after me all day long asking to give me a child, and this girl still pestered me regardless of the occasion or opportunity, I'm afraid I would have to be scared away first. If Sheila had launched this offensive when she and Xingchen were already relatively close, it might have been successful, but she fell in love with her unrequitedly when Xingchen had no emotional foundation, and then started this Such a vigorous and powerful attack... Who can stand it?
The first and second masters of the Void over there struggled for a long time before they finally settled down. Before the bitter smile on Xingchen's face faded, he quickly used business to cover up: "Do you have any guesses about the Void Catastrophe last season? "
At this time, I naturally remembered what Abyss Xiling once said to me, so I looked at the latter and mentioned a rather suspicious "historical artifact": "About the ancient abyss gate at the bottom of the God Realm, Abyss Xiling I feel that 'bridging' may have been carried out more than once, and even some civilizations on this shore have carried out bridge-building operations, and the abyss gate in the God Realm may have been left behind by the last bridge building. I wonder if you can start an investigation based on this , maybe we can find some technical reference for bridge construction.”
When it came to business, the expression on Silla's face finally became serious. She glanced at Xingchen: "I know about the ancestral sect at the bottom of the Star Territory. I've seen it several times. To be honest, I've told him about it many times. The house didn’t choose an auspicious place. I don’t know what kind of idea it was to build a divine realm on top of the Gate of the Abyss. But the Gate of the Abyss is indeed very weird, inert, stable, and harmless... Wow, this little guy The girl’s guess makes sense. Although this idiot Xingchen didn’t leave anything behind in his previous life, maybe he really tried to build bridges in his previous life. Hey, I have a guess!”
Xingchen and I looked at this person at the same time, Crazy Sister: "Say!"
"The Gate of the Abyss is indeed a relic of the bridge. And it may have been left by Xingchen in his previous life." Sheila winked at Xingchen. "In your previous life, you tried your best to build a bridge to save your child, but in the end you failed. The bridge collapsed and the cataclysm came. You were too sad and you sealed your memory and went into exile. You didn't wake up until the void cycle began this season. Although you no longer remember what happened in the previous season, nor what bridges you had built. But Under the influence of instinct, you found the gate and built a divine realm on it. You subconsciously thought it was your home. Well, I am indeed a sentimental girl."
I looked at Sheila in surprise. This sister's brain seemed to be no smaller than Qianqian's. The diameter of her brain was almost the same as Qianqian's. If the speed of thinking can also be improved, maybe this will be the second Qianqian!
Xingchen also suddenly showed a pensive look. He thought about it seriously, and finally nodded slightly: "Well, maybe that's the case."
"Ah?" Silla's tone rose. "Are you serious? I just said it casually, how could there be such twists and turns..."
"No, all actions of void creatures have meaning." Xingchen interrupted, "Even subconscious actions have deep meaning behind them. Now think about the attention I paid to the abyss gate when I first established the God Realm. There is indeed a problem with the degree. However, I did not find the aura of the 'last season cycle' that I left behind in that gate. This is the only question: if that ancient gate is indeed a relic of the last bridge, then it should I personally participated in it in my previous life, so there should be traces of myself inside the gate, but..."
"When you first established the God Realm, you were still a fool. How could you know such a fine sense at that time?" Sheila spread her hands. Her understanding of Xingchen was unmatched by anyone in the void. "When you know how to When you sensed this weak aura, the gate had already been cleaned. Count how many times you have purified and inspected it. You have seriously damaged the scene."
"Maybe." Xingchen nodded and stopped talking.
There was silence for a while, and then Sheila suddenly waved to me: “Brother, it’s rare for me to be your guest, how about showing me around?”
I looked at the other person in surprise: "Don't you still want to go home to get your things?"
I remembered that it would take a lot of effort to transport personnel and supplies from the Huron side, and that a void creature would have to personally "escort" them. I thought that this hot-tempered elder sister would just leave, but I didn't expect that she seems to be here now. I just plan to travel here.
Silla frowned: "Are you not welcome?"
I quickly waved my hands, with a happy look on my face: "Definitely not! I welcome you. To be honest, you don't have many chances to come here. I have wanted to introduce my place to you for a long time, but I never had the chance. "
Silla showed a satisfied smile and glanced at Xingchen: "Well, you are much easier to get along with than this guy. To be honest, if my sister hadn't already given her heart and was loyal, I would have married you."
I:"……"
"Ah ha, I'm kidding, look at your expression. I'm just going to stay here for a few days to regain my energy. This time I charged all the way from Huron to hold the National People's Congress, and I'm as tired as a grandson..."
I said again: "..."
The streets of Shadow City are still bustling with people from all over the world. They are visitors, some are settled, some are princes and nobles, some are heroes, some are starship captains who want to make a career, and some are great magicians who want to explore the truth of the world. Or just ordinary travelers who want to experience a novel journey. No matter where you come from or what your beliefs are, you can find something to indulge yourself in this city. The cataclysm of the void, the undercurrent in the abyss, the summit of the three gods, the mysterious signal from the other side, these things are too far away and too profound, and they are 99.9% harmful to the civilians living peacefully in the Shadow City and the macro world. Nines (and you can add countless nines after that) are meaningless concepts to people who live their own lives, think about their own things, and are ignorant of things beyond their understanding.
The home planet Gaia still hangs upside down in the sky. The earth, which can almost distinguish every detail of the mountains, rivers and rivers, hangs upside down in the sky of Shadow City. At first glance, it gives people a thrilling pressure. But once you get used to it, it is a rare beauty. This is a landscape that can never be produced under natural conditions. , is also the most famous scenery in Shadow City as the capital of all realms, just like the broken floating continents and unpredictable space boundaries in the Star Territory.
But it seems that Sister Sheila is not very interested in this scene.
Her attention was always focused on the bustling pedestrians and the miscellaneous shops on the streets. The supreme ruler of the Huron Tribe looked at the bustling streets with interest, occasionally looking up at the people walking through the city. There are few magicians in the sky... ravens and dragons (and of course various types of aircraft). She said with a happy look on her face: "Oh, your place seems to be more lively?"
This is not the first time she has come to Shadow City: to discuss "racial matters" with Xing Chen. Coupled with her interest in me as a "new tribe member", she has actually been "here" once or twice in the past two years, and she has also visited the capital of the empire on the way, but the time she can stay each time is They were all very short, and the time between each visit was very long. In addition, the changes in Shadow City could be said to be changing rapidly, so she naturally felt that it was more lively every time.
Under the activity of the energetic ravens of the Space-Time Management Bureau, the scale of the macro world is expanding every day, although the Shadow City is still called a "city". But now it has expanded to almost a small country. Its core area is still a giant city, but there is a wider land outside. Some satellite cities are being established, and Sivis has plans to build other cities specifically to accommodate the sharp increase in Macroworld visitors.
Abyss Xiling has no interest in this kind of wandering. So we went back to the research center directly, and I accompanied the two Void Leaders to wander around the lively streets of Shadow City. We started from the military zone and headed all the way to the outskirts of the city. There are several commercial streets in the middle. Sheila and Xingchen are well-informed masters. They are not very interested in these strange races and dazzling things. What really interests them is that the empire integrates and manages these mortal races and allows them to The way to live in a city. And the new atmosphere created by the collision of so many different cultures: just picking out a few sociological phenomena in Shadow City is enough for sociologists on the earth to study for more than half a year.
"So many races have completely different cultures, beliefs, living habits and even the basis of survival. They merge together, resulting in a cultural explosion," Sheila commented seemingly professionally, "Look at these shops, many of them are collaborations between different races. Form, business is an extension of culture, and I believe the business in Shadow City cannot be seen elsewhere.”
"You know a lot?" I looked at him in surprise.
"There is a similar communication world below the Huron God Realm, although it is not as grand as yours," Sheila said while pointing to Xing Chen, "The Star Realm God Realm also has such a dedicated space. Use To allow various mortal races to communicate. Of course, the scale we set up is very small, basically a small place similar to the Hall of Valor and Tianjie Mountain, so that the heroes who sacrificed for the gods can have a place to resurrect and enjoy happiness, and by the way, to integrate The God Realm is preparing. But as long as different races live together, the atmosphere will be the same: as long as there is no fighting, it will be harmonious and lively."
Looking at the shadow city in front of me, and then thinking about the world of gods, I suddenly sketched a picture of the new version of the Bible in my mind: the heroes and believers who ascended to the Hall of Valor and Mount Tianjie lived a life of playing cards and chatting with people every day, sitting on the road The wonderful life of selling tea eggs on the teeth and using the air conditioner in the supermarket... I think I know where Lilina's inspiration for revising the Bible every day comes from. She must have written it comparing the Shadow City with the God Realm!
I often wander around Shadow City with my family, so the citizens here are already quite familiar with "His Majesty the Emperor who wanders around without any pretense." We didn't attract any onlookers along the way, but there were always people greeting me along the way, and when these greetings were When people saw two strangers following me, many people cast curious glances: Xingchen and Sheila obviously have a close relationship with "His Majesty the Emperor". It seems that many people are curious about the identities of these two people. I think The major newspapers in Shadow City will be busy again in the next few days.
By the time she left the downtown area, Sheila already had a lot of strange things in her hands. I didn't expect that this Void Carrier would have the same habits as other women: purchasing, collecting, and carrying them first even if they are useless. Maybe the reason why all women in the world love shopping is the "information disturbance" from her?
"There are quite a lot of interesting things here," Sheila said happily while biting fried skewers and clumsily stuffing grilled squid into Xingchen's mouth. "My place is also very lively. But most of the children I like peace and quiet, and the central area of the God Realm seems a bit too boring. The Xingchen family is even more serious. He also specially placed the Brilliant Divine Court and the 'Grand Courtyard' on an isolated continent, which is really boring."
Xingchen explained in a dumbfounded way while being poked and poked by bamboo sticks: "I like to be quiet..."
Unknowingly, we had left the busiest area, and there were some less interesting places in the middle (such as factories, etc.) that we directly jumped to using civilian teleporters. We waited until Sheila finally wiped out the snacks in her hand. I found that I had arrived at the temple area: the jingling World Tree towered in front of me, the surrounding air was extremely fresh, and the whole world seemed to be filled with warm and bright light.
This is the effect brought about by the breath of the goddess of life: Ding Dong is basically a mobile air freshener.
The Tree of Life seemed to be undergoing routine self-examination. Mysterious runes were traveling rapidly on its magnificent trunks, and a light green mist filled the tree crown. Gradually gathering in the center of the square, a soft sound like wind chimes and singing echoed in the air, and the most eye-catching place on the trunk of the World Tree floated a line of words filled with a holy atmosphere: You have used up the time to boot up this time. For several days, I have been defeated by all the management systems in the network segment. Why don't you quickly uninstall this plug-in to improve the boot speed?
Me: "...Dingdang installed some very strange plug-ins for World Tree, and it seems like she won't uninstall them..."
Before I finished speaking, I saw advertisements starting to play outside the trunk of the World Tree. While the advertisements were playing, errors were reported. In the red message window in the upper right corner, more than 20 messages about missing optical drivers popped up. A trembling pointer was ignoring these messages one by one... Under the continuous deception of Qian Qian with an open mind, Ding Dang finally frantically started to control the universe with the mouse.
But it’s almost the same: the little thing’s normal operations aren’t necessarily that agile, and the mouse may be more accurate: but which genius made this mouse that’s compatible with the world management system? Bingtis?
Xingchen and Sheila looked up at the World Tree silently for a while. The latter seemed to be trying to liven up the atmosphere: "This little thing is still unreliable as before. But it has learned how to install plug-ins..."
"It's just a copycat system that was bundled and installed during the upgrade. I know this system. Qian Yuhao spoke for it and I locked him up for more than 20 years for this matter."
Me: "..." How chaotic is the management of the God Realm in certain places!
At this time, the routine self-examination and restart of World Tree finally ended, and Temple Square gradually returned to normal. And I saw a small green figure rushing over from not far away, accompanied by a high-pitched call from far to near: "Arjun Paji"
I pulled Dingdang off my face. Fortunately, my body was now completely mutated. Otherwise, three or four years ago, every time Ding Dong pounced, he would have left a human-shaped mark on his face.
The little thing was held up in the air by its wings, but she still looked cheerful and joyful. She stretched her neck and turned her head to lick my fingers (this was a way of expressing intimacy, although I didn't understand what was wrong with it). ), then he looked up and saw Xingchen and Sheila: "Ah, Father God and Stepmother God are here too! Dingdang says hello to you!"
Silla suddenly jumped up to a height of more than two meters: "Who taught her! What does the stepmother god mean!"
"Don't think about it. Half of the people in the family are suspects. They teach Dingdang some weird things every day." I thought about the many girls in my family who were always mentally ill and felt that Dingdang was on the right track. It's a miracle that after four years of being nurtured in this kind of atmosphere, he is still so innocent. Then I saw several other familiar figures walking from the Temple Square. They were wearing the uniforms of imperial soldiers and the unique emblems of the institute staff. The leader was an old man with gray hair... an ancestor. They? What are they doing in the temple?
Just as he was thinking about it, several ancestors had already walked up to him. The first one was naturally Ansers. The old man seemed to be in good spirits and had a cheerful smile on his face. Maybe it was because there were a lot of things waiting to be done for these people. An old man who "couldn't take any time off" felt that his life had regained momentum. He glanced at God the Father and King Huron curiously, but obviously he didn't have much interest in the two strangers. He just smiled and greeted me: " His Majesty the Emperor."
The ancestors strictly followed the empire's hierarchy, made themselves ordinary members of the empire and refused all special treatment. Therefore, when they saw Shandora and I, they would always call His Majesty the Emperor according to the rules, but after all, the ancestor's identity is Here it is, even if I am a half-way monk, His Majesty the Emperor, I have no inheritance relationship with them, and I cannot bear the gift from such seniors, so I quickly spoke to divert their attention before several ancestor-level figures gave the gift: " Oh, hello, hello. Let me introduce to you, here are the Father God of the Star Territory and the God-King of the Huron Clan. You should know them in the imperial database..."
After I finished introducing both parties, expressions of surprise suddenly appeared on the faces of several ancestors, and Ansers also looked at Xingchen and Sheila with curious eyes.
And Sheila looked at several Xiling ancestors with curiosity, her eyes suddenly changed a little.
