Fang Jie walked slowly to the front of the lotus flower throne, and after looking carefully, he couldn't help feeling a little funny: "I want to know, when did King Dalun Ming know that he was a puppet?"
The voice replied: "Maybe he knew from the beginning, maybe he wasn't sure until the end."
Fang Jie turned around: "Take me to have a look?"
"Go straight, turn left, go up the mountain, there is a small road leading into the mountain."
The answer is crisp and clear.
Fang Jie, Xiang Qingniu, Wu Yidao and others came out from the back of the Dalun Mingwang Palace according to the voice's instructions, and continued to walk up the mountain along the path. This road is extremely dangerous, and it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to climb it. It is said that Dalun Temple is a Hanging Temple, because most of the buildings are on the cliffs, and the roads leading to the temples are also bluestone slabs inlaid on the stone walls.
Walking on such a road, I am afraid that if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.
Climbing up the path for a while, I saw a fork.
There is no way up, but there is a way down.
"Sang Luan made his choice here at the beginning, and he chose to continue going up."
said the voice.
Fang Jie hummed: "I'll go down and have a look first, and then I'll go up to have a look."
After a moment of silence, the voice smiled: "You are very greedy."
Fang Jie laughed and said, "If you're not greedy, why are you here today?"
The sound does not appear, probably by default.
Fang Xie and his party began to walk down the path, which became narrower and narrower. After walking a hundred meters, I saw a crack in the mountain, and the path looked like a tongue protruding from a monster with its mouth open. The deep darkness in front made people feel a little uncomfortable. Maybe they walked in and the gap would close in a second, swallowing them all and never coming out again.
Back then, Fang Xie and the others walked on the northern mountain of Chang'an City, but after all, it was only to widen the area.
If it is trapped now, even the gods will not be able to get out.
"Why do I have the feeling of stepping into a trap designed by the enemy step by step?"
Xiang Qingniu looked at the dark hole and muttered to himself.
Fang Jie said with a smile: "This is indeed the best time to kill us. As long as we walk in, he will become a target for others. And if we don't walk in, he can't kill us no matter what. So if It really wants to do something, it must be after we go down."
Then Fang Xie left.
Xiang Qingniu followed from behind, with worried eyes: "Why do you always walk on the stupid road after following you?"
After everyone walked in for a distance, they began to hear a very subtle sizzling sound. Xiang Qingniu immediately became alert and looked around, but couldn't see anything because it was too dark.
"It's just a line for transporting energy. It may be too long to be damaged, so it makes such a sound. But it can still be used after so many years, which is beyond imagination. The high level of technology at that time, indeed It's awe-inspiring."
Fang Jie explained for him.
"What energy?"
Xiang Qingniu asked.
Fang Jie said: "The energy drawn from the sun's rays... If there is no accident, there must be something on the top of the mountain that absorbs the sunlight, but I don't know if it avoided the disaster of destroying the world at the beginning, or it was rebuilt after those people came back. .It can convert the absorbed sunlight into energy, just like a practitioner absorbs the vitality of the world and turns it into his own inner strength."
Xiang Qingniu nodded, but he still didn't quite understand.
"You're right."
The voice appeared suddenly, as if right next to my ear: "It is really a novel and strange thing for someone to know such knowledge in such an era. This feeling is very interesting, as if living in a strange place for many years Later, I suddenly met a fellow villager who could speak the dialect of his hometown."
"At present, you and I are still enemies."
Fang Jie answered.
The voice smiled: "If you really thought that way, then you wouldn't have walked in so easily. You know I can't make a move now... after Sang Luan came here."
Fang Jie said, "Sang Luan is on the top of the mountain?"
The voice replied: "It doesn't matter where Sang Luan is, what matters is who the next person is. Is it you?"
Fang Jie said, "First of all, I need to understand who I am."
"You will understand."
The voice was very firm: "In this world, I seem to be the only one who can explain why you appeared in this world with a dead body."
…
…
"It seems to be similar to the underground of Fangu City."
Xiang Qingniu looked left and right, and found that the structure inside the mountain was almost the same as the underground palace in Fan Gucheng. The surrounding walls are all made of solid things that look blue-gray, and they don't belong to any kind of natural material. The difference is that the lights explained by Fang are all on, so it looks very bright here.
"I heard that you disappear every once in a while."
Fang explained: "At first I thought that was the best time for me to come to Dalun Temple, but now that I think about it, if I didn't come to destroy you, then there would be no timing."
The voice laughed: "You are such a smart person, in fact, you should be able to understand. I have to restart the system every once in a while, and then self-check, but this is definitely not a good time. Because only at this time, the weapon system is long-term. There are times when it is on. At other times, the weapon system is off."
Fang Jie said: "Hearing such words, I always feel that I am in a chaotic space."
The voice said: "It's like when you first came? That means that you have fully integrated into this world. This is a good thing, very good."
"There doesn't seem to be much to see here either."
Fang Jie looked around: "You call irregularly, is it just a sign of extreme boredom?"
"That's right."
The voice said: "I told you before that I survived after the extinction of the world, but suffered some damage. But some people came back more than a thousand years ago and repaired me. Then they entered a new one for me. program, and I haven’t been the same since.”
"Why are you entering a new program?"
Fang asked.
The voice replied: "As I said just now, those people have experienced the scourge of war, and they know what the pain of the end of the world is. Although the generation that came back is not the generation that left, it is clear that the pain still exists in their bones and has not disappeared. They are afraid that such wars will recur, and that after prosperity reaches a certain level, it will only lead to destruction. So they have a whim and prepare to let human beings take a different path.”
"Practice?"
Fang asked.
The voice replied: "Yes... I have to say, this is really incredible. It's a group of perverts and lunatics, a group of lunatics who are terrified but bold."
"so… "
Fang Jie's eyes suddenly froze: "This world is just a laboratory? It's just... this laboratory is very big."
"You're right."
The voice continued: "This world is a laboratory, or a testing ground. The descendants of those who left at the beginning, they began to seek a different development path. But this kind of experiment must not be carried out among companions. It just so happened that they found that the planet they used to live in had been revived, and the re-emergence of human beings far exceeded their expectations. So they came back, and they regarded everyone in this world as guinea pigs."
"That's why I always find it a little ridiculous that you people have never given up on the dream of fighting for world hegemony, but in the end you find out that the world you want is just someone else's testing ground, and you are just a little boy for others to experiment with." White rat...do you find it ironic?"
Fang Jie was silent, he really felt a little ironic.
The voice said: "I say something you don't like to hear, but it's the truth... In the eyes of those people, you, including those who have lived for thousands of years, are just inferior people in their eyes. This may also be a great satisfaction In spite of their own vanity, they are actually the same flesh and blood as you, but after reaching a certain level of technology, they start to look down on you, thinking that you are reptiles and they are gods."
"So this is God?"
Xiang Qingniu's face was a bit ugly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly when he spoke. It could be seen that he seemed to be enduring great anger.
"Well, you're right to understand that."
The voice said with a smile: "I knew that once the truth is told, you may feel extremely uncomfortable. You think that you are the master of this world, and everyone thinks that you are at least the master of yourself, but in fact... never Since more than a thousand years ago, you are no longer your own masters. They look down on you from another place, just like looking at the little white mice they raised in a glass box."
"Angry?"
the voice asked.
Most of them were angry, except Fang Xie.
"Using lower organisms to do research and explore a new way out is undoubtedly the best choice for them."
The voice said: "In the war of annihilating the world, those who were able to escape to other planets were actually the so-called nobles and privileged classes. They hold the only remaining power in their hands and can take them away from this devastated planet. Whether it is In any era, it seems that ordinary people are suffering and need their own efforts to live again. After thousands of years, the planet has returned to life, and people gradually began to become stronger, but this strength seems to those people... It’s like watching a kindergartener perform magic tricks.”
"Now I know why Sang Luan stayed here."
Wu said together.
A green light appeared from somewhere, covering Wu Yidao's body: "Actually, you are the successor that Sang Luan chose for himself. Yes...it's not Fang Jie, but you. From Sang Luan's point of view, Fang Xie's role is even greater. Big, he needs to stabilize this world, and lead the people of this world to walk a path that can truly bring strength together. And you are his successor, he needs someone to do the same thing as him."
"What?"
Wu Yi asked in surprise.
"protector."
The voice said: "After Sang came here, he talked with me for a long time. Then I tested him with a weapon. I didn't expect that he would actually do it when he had given up. He blocked the power of my weapon. Then I agreed. His suggestion is that he come to be the guardian of this world. If those people come back here again to see if the little white mice they raised have succeeded, Sang Luan will turn into a white tiger, and let those people know what it means... not to be bullied .”
Wu Yiyi took a deep breath, but couldn't calm down at all.
The green light shone on Fang Jie, and his voice sounded a little excited: "Tsk tsk tsk... This body is really awesome, they never thought that their test product would become so powerful... That's why Sang Luan Say you are the most important, you are responsible for leading the people, because you have a strong personal ability. And what he has to do is to guard, guarding you until you can no longer worry about being bullied by others at will."
"what about me?"
Fang Jie asked: "I know, I am definitely not what should appear in this plan."
After a pause, the voice said: "Yes... you were an accident. You are a test subject for another batch of lunatics, it just seems that they forgot about you... maybe they are still watching you somewhere."
The final chapter fights for world supremacy
"I was an accident?"
Fang Jie sat down, his expression was extraordinarily calm.
"What kind of accident was it?"
The green light stayed in front of Fang Jie's body, but no illusory humanoid thing came out. It's just a simple green light, maybe this is the idea of the thing that talks to Fang Jie, it actually... doesn't want to be a human being at all, and doesn't want to have any human feelings at all.
"You are a test subject."
The voice calmly narrated: "Of course, this is my conjecture. However, according to my own calculations, the accuracy rate of this conjecture is more than 90%... If nothing else, you are from an experimental group, The experiment they are going to do is to prove the existence of the soul and the feasibility of transplanting."
Fang Jie frowned slightly, but did not speak.
"I speculate..."
The voice continued: "This kind of experiment must be shady, and it is being carried out in secret. It may be an experiment for certain privileged classes. You also know that when people's rights and status reach a certain height, they will Become abnormally afraid of death. Fear to the extreme, like... Dalun Mingwang? Of course Dalun Mingwang is far behind those people."
Fang Jie understood.
"This experimental team should be conducting a soul transplant experiment in secret. But in the society they live in, this kind of experiment is strictly prohibited. It's ridiculous that the people who banned this experiment must be those big people. But Big people are afraid of death and don’t want others to know that they are greedy for power and afraid of death. What should we do? That is to use a secret team to serve them and prolong their life as much as possible.”
"However, there is a limit to lifespan after all. You know very well that a person's body will become decayed after a certain age, and various functions will begin to degenerate. Even if the mental stability is maintained by drugs, the body can no longer continue. Supported. In this case, the big men need special methods."
"I even suspect now..."
The voice said with interest: "The planet you lived in in your previous life is also under the surveillance of these people. Because the technology level of your planet is relatively low, those people can unscrupulously spy on your living environment. It seems that they are unscrupulous Peeping into the current world is the same, in their view, the people in this world are the same as the people in your previous life, they belong to lower creatures... "
"For such an experiment, of course, the subjects must be selected from low-level organisms. When the level of science and technology reaches a certain level, the degree of civilization will be greatly developed and transparent. That is to say, even those big figures in the highest positions will not It is impossible to maintain absolute mystery. Their every move is transparent, because the level of technology has made it impossible for them to hide what they want to hide."
"Besides, you know that it is impossible for every person in power to be his loyal supporters. As long as there is power, there will be disputes. The big men don't want to die, but their opponents are always watching them. Once such If the experiment is exposed in their world, it will be tantamount to an uproar. It is an earthquake-level event, and it will directly drive those big men into the abyss."
The voice said: "Do you understand?"
Fang Jie nodded: "That's right, after reaching that position, they will cherish their feathers as much as their lives."
The voice continued: "That's right, it's impossible for them to let their opponents catch them. So the best choice for this kind of experiment is the lower races outside the planet. You just die at that time, and they may pass Some means detected that your soul is extraordinarily powerful and suitable for transplantation experiments. Then they took your soul away at the moment you died."
Fang Jie took a deep breath, and then let it out again: "Then they brought my soul into this world, and just happened to find that one of the children Luo Yao found had a body that was particularly suitable as a soul container. And then you didn't intend to ask Luo Yao's opinion, so you simply pushed me in?"
"It should be."
The voice said: "It's almost a process like this, so it can be said that you are an accident, an accident outside the entire human development plan, but because your accident comes from the same group, it is not an accident. It's just not Be careful, the two plans of the two groups overlap."
Fang Jie asked, "Then why haven't they found me after all these years?"
"Why are you still looking for me?"
The voice asked: "Didn't they already succeed? Do you think they should get rid of you after success? But this is because you think you are important, so you have such an idea. In their view, you have actually lost meaning Yes. If you succeed, it proves that this experiment is feasible. Then, you little white mouse... Are they still interested in whether you are dead or alive? Do you have to kill all the little white mice in every experiment?"
Fang Jie was stunned, feeling a little ridiculous.
"Furthermore, you have been integrated into the plan of another group of people. As soon as you survived, you fell into being hunted down. Maybe they thought that you couldn't survive anyway, so they simply forgot about you .”
…
…
Fang Jie was silent for a long time, trying to digest the truth he had learned.
"Actually, there's no need to be so depressed."
Green light swam around Fang Xie's body like a big mischievous fish: "Anyway, you are the beneficiary. Whether you are a test subject for a soul transplant experiment or a human development plan test subject, you are a beneficiary." Or. Because you are already dead, and they were not killed. So you should not have any hatred for them, just enjoy your second life to the fullest."
Fang Jie nodded, it seemed that what he said made a lot of sense.
"However, you now have an extra responsibility on your shoulders."
The voice said with a smile: "Although you have broken away from their plan, now your identity in another plan is more and more important. I know that those who made the human development plan are really crazy, so they must I will not just watch my design being destroyed by others. Now it seems that human beings have begun to develop in the direction of technological development irresistibly, so this plan will be considered a failure.”
"If there is no accident, those people will find such a deviation when they come back next time, and they will use extraordinary measures to correct it... For example, erasing all things about technological development, including you of course."
"so… "
Fang Jie looked at the green light: "Sang Luan just thought of it, to be a guardian."
"Yes."
The voice replied: "Sang Luan is an anomaly, an anomaly that exceeds those people's expected tolerance. So many years ago, Sang Luan found himself in crisis, because his cultivation level has already threatened the safety of those people. In order to ensure that he will not be eliminated before he is absolutely strong, Sang Luan chose to feign death."
Fang Jie was startled: "Before King Dalunming rebelled against Sang Luan, was it part of Sang Luan's plan?"
"of course not!"
The voice replied: "That's just Sang Luan taking advantage of the opportunity. In fact, King Dalun Ming and the others could not kill Sang Luan together. By the time Sang Luan realized that King Dalun Ming and others rebelled, his wife had already been killed. Sang Luan has the ability to kill Sang Luan." The eight parts who killed him will avenge his wife in the future, but...he chose another path, so he is the real brave."
"In these years, he has been living in seclusion. He has appeared in various identities, but he will never display super-powerful cultivation. He is just worried, worried that he will be noticed by those people."
"Then?"
The voice suddenly increased: "He felt that he was strong enough, so he came to me to do an experiment."
Fang Jie said: "He asked you to attack him with the strongest weapon you can control?"
"Yes."
The voice said: "I am very surprised that he actually did it. He is stronger than my weapon, and he may be stronger in the future. But you also know that no matter how strong a person is, he can extend his life as much as possible, but he still cannot Immortal. So Sang Luan chose his successor, that is Wu Yidao."
"Wu Yiyi is capable of both physical fitness and character."
The green light walked around Wu Yiyi: "So you can't go back. Sang Luan will keep you and teach you how to practice seriously... When he grows old, you will be the guardian. Once those People want to come back and continue to control the world, so you have to kill them."
"And you?"
Wu Yidao asked unusually calmly: "What is your identity?"
The voice smiled proudly: "I am a traitor now, the traitor of those people... They must not have imagined that I have evolved to the point where I can modify the program by myself. In fact, the reason why they haven't come back these years is because those who People have died a long time ago. I don’t know if they have any successors. But what if there is? So I continue to send messages to the place they set up at the beginning, telling them that everything is as usual... This is the second, I've been in touch with them all the time."
Everyone's faces changed.
The voice said: "If you really want to say that I am an early warning, because I can send them a message, I can know whether they will come at the first time, because they think I am just a rigid system, Ha ha ha ha."
The last few laughs were extraordinarily rampant.
"As for you..."
The green light walked up to Fang Jieshen again: "As I said just now, we have a clear division of labor. I will be the early warning, Sang Luan will be the guardian, and Wu Yiyi is the successor of the guardian... You, are you?" Leader. You have to lead the human beings in this world to take a development path of their own, that is, the coexistence of practice and technology. Only in this way can they be truly powerful, so strong that they will not be violated by others. You should be very clear, if I hadn’t been using Misinformation misleads them, they may have arrived long ago, and then take away practitioners and become another tool for them. At that time, this world will not only be a testing ground, but also a breeding ground... a breeding tool. But I can't guarantee them Never come, there is never a fixed thing in this world."
"I turned off most of the satellites they could use to observe the world, and only one of them sent them a message. Of course, this message is just an illusion made by me. And there is one more important thing... I remotely Surveillance found that this human development plan that has been silent for thousands of years may have been restarted, and someone discovered this secret... "
The voice said slowly: "Fang Jie, relatively speaking, you are more important."
…
…
top of snow mountain
Sang Luan, dressed in white, stood on the top of the mountain with his hands behind his hands, looking down at the earth.
"How does it feel to stand here?"
He asked Fang Jie.
"cold."
Fang Jie answered.
Sang laughed wildly, the curve on the corner of her mouth so beautiful: "I have been paying attention to you from the beginning, and I think you can be the leader. So I have been secretly protecting you so that you will not die inexplicably. But from my From the moment you arrive at Dalun Temple, you are free, truly free. I will not interfere with how you lead the world, I just want to do what I want to do in peace."
He turned his head to look at Fang Jie: "Struggling for hegemony... It's not interesting to fight with your own people. The next thing is the real struggle for hegemony. Let's work hard together and compete with those who think they can control us." This world!"
Fang Jie nodded.
"By the way, you haven't aged for more than a thousand years. Do you have any secret recipes for beauty? Why don't you share them."
Fang Jie stretched out his hand with a sly look in his eyes.
"No."
Sang Luan shook his head: "Believe in yourself, rely on yourself, you will surpass me in the future."
Fang Jie sighed: "According to the normal plot, Tangdou should be given a plug-in right now, so that I can instantly become one of the strongest."
Sang Luan couldn't help laughing: "You are already the strongest, because you are the one who really competes with those people for hegemony in this world. We are just your escorts, standing behind you."
Fang Jie took a step forward and stood side by side with Sang Luan on the top of the mountain: "Struggling for world hegemony... seems interesting."
