On a pedestrian street somewhere in Yuecheng, a beautiful young lady with fair skin was shopping with her best friend. She was carrying three or four shopping bags and was discussing with her best friend where to go for dinner. But when she turned around to ask a question, she bumped into someone and the things in her hands fell to the ground.
"Sorry, are you okay, Lijia?" Qingkong and others, who were randomly teleported by the space gate due to the collapse of Chishui, bumped into each other.
"How did you walk... on the road?" The young lady's angry tone took a sharp turn for the worse when she saw the handsome and gentle appearance of the man.
[He's so handsome, he probably didn't do it on purpose. ]
Qingkong looked away calmly, bent down to help the girl pick up the dropped shopping bag, handed it to her politely, and apologized again: "Sorry, I showed up too suddenly, can you check if anything is broken?"
"It's okay, I bought clothes and they won't get damaged." The young lady's expression looked much better.
[She did appear suddenly. There was no one in front of her just now. Did she come here to chat with me on purpose? Although her method is a bit old-fashioned, she looks okay. It's not impossible to give her a chance.]
Qingkong nodded calmly, then left.
Yes, he left, and he left without hesitation even though the young lady was ready to add him on WeChat.
Young lady: “…” Damn, I really bumped into him by accident.
After the Chishui River collapsed, the positioning of the space gate would shift to a certain extent. Although the exit was still in Yuecheng, it was dozens of kilometers away from where Qingkong entered. Almost one was in the west of the city and the other was in the east.
Qingkong took only two steps forward and saw Chen Chu and Lin Yan waiting not far away.
Found myself so quickly
Although the three of them came out from the same exit, unless they held hands, they would not appear in the same place at the same time after coming out, and their directions would be slightly offset. I just came out, but Chen Chu was able to lock onto me instantly, obviously very anxious to find me.
"Turned off my cell phone." The first thing we said when we met.
Qingkong understood clearly: "It's closed in Chishui."
Chen Chu laughed. It was closed in Chishui. As expected, Qingkong always knew how to avoid trouble.
They were not the only ones who entered the Red Water this time. Feishuang and Orca did not appear in the later battles, and they may have returned to Earth in advance. After they returned, they would immediately report to the headquarters what happened in the Red Water. Then, whether they could return must be the focus of the headquarters. The collapse of the Red Water was too sudden, and he did not have time to explain many things to Lin Yan and Qingkong before he came out, so he came to find Qingkong in such a hurry.
Chen Chu: "Let's find a place to eat and chat."
Qingkong looked helpless: "If I say it, can I pretend that I didn't hear anything? Can I stay out of this matter?"
He was really afraid of trouble, and the two people in front of him were in more than ordinary trouble. He had felt it vaguely after entering Chishui, so he repeatedly emphasized to Chen Chu that if there was anything, he must not tell him, because he was afraid of being involved. In the end, Chen Chu did not tell him, and he witnessed it with his own eyes.
This is so unlucky! There is no place to seek justice.
Chen Chu smiled and said, "After we finish talking, you can pretend you don't know."
At a hot pot restaurant at the end of the pedestrian street, the three of them asked for a private room, sat inside, and chatted while eating hot pot.
Chen Chu did not hide anything and briefly told the high priest and Shuize about asking him for help. But even just a brief mention was enough to shock the two of them for three lifetimes.
Lin Yan: "Tianyu can actually be revived? Those spirits in the subspace are actually all alive?"
Although she knew that these spirits had self-awareness, she had always treated them as ghosts. Now they were all alive? Did she kill those spirits before, actually alive
"You don't know?" Although Qingkong was also surprised, he was even more surprised that Lin Xi didn't know.
Lin Yan shook her head: "I don't know."
Qingkong was speechless. As one of the parties involved, the initiator of the Tianji Realm, and the last and most crucial link in saving the world, who would believe you if you told me you knew nothing
But the Eye of Truth told him that Lin Xi did not lie and really did not know.
Qingkong asked, "You know nothing, how do you know about Tianji Realm? This place is the key to saving the world. Even the Lord of Chishui City and the High Priest cannot enter."
Lin Yan said frankly: "This has something to do with my special ability, but it's hard to explain."
Qingkong looked at Lin Yan suspiciously, making sure she wasn't lying. It was really hard to explain. What was even more amazing was that, under normal circumstances, if someone said something was hard to explain, they usually couldn't explain it clearly, or couldn't say it. His true eyes could see through people's hearts directly, and he could actually read it himself. But now, even he couldn't read it. Lin Yan's inner thoughts were a bunch of unclear garbled codes.
[#%@#￥%￥#]
The more this happened, the more curious Qingkong became. But since he couldn't figure it out, he had no choice but to give up for now and turn to look at Chen Chu. "The subspace... that is, Tianyu. The reason why Tianyu came to Lin Yan to save the world is probably related to her difficult-to-explain supernatural power. What about you? Why did you come? The high priest went to so much trouble to find you. It's obvious that his original target was only you. Lin Yan must have discovered it by accident."
The change in the attitude of the high priest and Shuize towards Lin Xi happened after Lin Xi struck the wooden fish. It was obvious that the two noticed the specialness of Lin Xi after seeing the prop she used. Before that, their only target was Chen Chu.
Chen Chu looked at Qingkong and said meaningfully: "It will probably be troublesome if you know about this matter."
Qingkong took a sip of beer and said nonchalantly, "What could be more troublesome than knowing how to save the world?"
Chen Chu nodded, thinking that Qingkong was justified, and said directly: "They came to me because I am from Tianyu Continent."
"Puff!" Qingkong spat out a mouthful of beer.
What did he hear? Was Chen Chu a Tianyu person, one of those spirits in the subspace
Lin Yan was also shocked, but not as exaggerated as Qingkong. When in Miao Village, the Saint Mark on Chen Chu's leg was once activated. At that time, the spirit in the Miao Village said that this level of mark could only be done by the Venerable level. At that time, Lin Yan didn't think much about it, just thinking that Chen Chu should have a powerful family background like the King of Wu in reality, and the mark on his leg was left by the elders of the family. Later, Lin Yan learned that the highest official combat power now is actually Kunlun, and it is obvious that no one in Kunlun has reached the level of Venerable.
She actually had some doubts at that time, but considering that Chen Chu grew up on Earth, she wondered if Chen Chu had some adventure in the subspace, and did not think that Chen Chu was originally a spirit.
Qingkong drank the beer in his hand in one breath and finally calmed down a little. After calming down, all he had left was regret.
Chen Chu had already reminded him, but he still insisted on asking. This trouble was indeed not as big as the trouble of saving the world, but for him, it was more difficult to deal with.
Once he knew about the matter of saving the world, he would know about it. This matter is too serious for him to handle. He would go back and report directly to his superiors, letting the official headquarters worry about it. He would have no pressure at all.
But how can he report about Chen Chu’s affairs
If he reports it, Chen Chu might die. If he doesn’t report it, this is another alien species.
Qingkong hesitated for a while and asked a question: "When did you come to Earth?"
Chen Chu: “24 years ago.”
Qingkong frowned. He had seen Chen Chu's file. Chen Chu was only 24 years old. "How did you get here?"
Chen Chu immediately told them the contents of the video recorded by Tang Tianyuan: "The video is in my phone. I can show it to you when I turn it on."
Qingkong: “No need.” Based on his understanding of Chen Chu, there was no need to lie to him about this matter.
Qingkong finally found an appropriate adjective: "Does this count as a puncture?"
Chen Chu smiled bitterly: "About the same."
Lin Yan had a different opinion: "If that's the case, I don't think Senior Chen Chu can be considered a person from Tianyu Continent."
The two looked at Lin Yan, as if asking, this entire process of possession was filmed, why doesn't it count
Lin Yan: "We can think about it from another angle. In Chinese mythology, after a person dies, his soul will go to the underworld to be reincarnated. After the reincarnated soul drinks Meng Po soup, it will enter the baby's body when the pregnant woman is about to give birth. Isn't the situation of Senior Chen Chu a standard reincarnation?"
The logic was as tight as the sky, and no one could refute it for a moment: "It does make some sense."
Chen Chu looked at the two of them, and his apprehension was soothed, and a warm feeling appeared in his heart. Although Chen Chu had prepared himself for all kinds of situations the moment he knew his life experience, he still felt that he was an earthling in his heart, and hoped that others could recognize his identity. Now someone recognized him.
As for the Wind Lord, the mother who had given up all her cultivation to send him to Earth, Chen Chu had mixed feelings and didn't want to think about it. If the rescue could be successful, they would have a chance to meet again, and perhaps they would be able to figure things out.
Chen Chu thought for a moment and replied, "Report to the headquarters first."
Qingkong was surprised, and then relieved. He was afraid that Chen Chu would ask him to keep it a secret and then start the journey of saving the world alone. In this case, he would probably betray his friend.
Chen Chu didn't make it difficult for him, so Qing Kong returned the favor and reminded him, "The headquarters will definitely ask you the same question just now. How do you plan to answer it?"
They can accept Chen Chu's identity as an earthling and believe that Chen Chu will not do anything that is detrimental to the earth, but the officials may not agree. Qingkong is not pessimistic. If he were a high-ranking official and knew Chen Chu's identity, he would probably rather kill someone by mistake than let him go.
Those who are not of my kind must have different hearts. For those in power, gambling on trust is a risk, and killing them is the option with the lowest cost.
After all, who knows whether the salvation he talks about is really that simple? Who can guarantee that the earth will not be sacrificed behind the salvation
Chen Chu: "Answer truthfully. I can't hide it. Although Tang Tianyuan has not told me my secret because of some fear, he will still tell me when the moment comes."
China is a very magical nation. When fighting among themselves, they may be treacherous and do all kinds of evil, but when they unite against foreign enemies, they will be unprecedentedly united. For example, a selfish and fearful person like Tang Tianyuan may suddenly become fearless in the face of national justice.
Qingkong: "The authorities might kill you."
Lin Yan was stunned: "Not really, saving the world can only be accomplished by Senior Chen Chu. The high priests only trust Senior Chen Chu."
Qingkong shook his head: "You are too naive. The high priest is the passive party in the matter of saving the world. They do trust Chen Chu, but they don't have to rely on Chen Chu. If Chen Chu dies, then he dies. As long as the high priest wants to revive Tianyu, he must ask for help from the earth."
Lin Yan understood, and instantly felt powerless. After thinking for a while, she suggested: "How about we not report it yet, and try it ourselves first. Anyway, the high priest said that he would help us collect the remaining catastrophic props. We just need to find a place to test whether the drought can really be suppressed after activation. If it can..."
Before Lin Yan could finish her words, Qingkong interrupted her: "What if it cannot be suppressed? Once the catastrophic item is activated, it will cause immeasurable harm."
Lin Yan: "I can recycle catastrophic items."
Qingkong looked at Lin Yan thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "You are the one who recovered the geography map."
Lin Yan nodded.
It really is
Qingkong was shocked. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly thought of something and shook his head, saying, "No, according to the high priest, your ability is related to the Tianji Realm. Although I don't know what your ability is specifically, the Tianji Realm belongs to Tianyu. If Tianyu at that time had a way to recycle the catastrophic items, why did it reach the point of world collapse? Even those venerables did not hesitate to seal these items with their lives? Wouldn't it be better to let your ability recycle them directly?"
Chen Chu had seen Lin Xi retrieve the geomagnetic map with his own eyes, but after listening to Qing Kong's analysis, he couldn't help but become suspicious.
Chen Chu thought for a moment and guessed, "The energy of the earth vein map was almost dissipated at that time, so it is not considered to be activated?"
Lin Xi didn't guess, she asked the system directly in her heart.
Lin Yan: "System, can you recover the catastrophic items after activation?"
System: “No.”
It's really not recyclable?!
Lin Yan was so shocked that she almost jumped up from her chair: "That's not what you said at the time."
System: "The leyline map was dormant at that time."
Lin Yan: "Does that mean that if I had retrieved the geomatrix map one minute later, you wouldn't have been able to retrieve it."
System: “I will try, but I may not succeed.”
Isn't this just irrecyclable? Do you think I won't understand if you say it differently
Lin Yan suddenly wanted to curse: "Can't you remind me? What if I'm late for recycling?"
System: "As indigenous people, if you don't care about your own world, it's ridiculous to expect others to care about it."
Lin Xi was speechless. After all, the Earth was the world where she lived. If even she, as an Earthling, was not nervous, then the system should not be nervous at all.
However, Lin Yan was still a little angry: "Okay, then as a being in the sky, don't ask the earth for help."
System: "I made a deal with Earth's world consciousness."
Lin Yan grasped the key words: "World consciousness?"
Lin Xi: "Hello? Hello? You made a deal with Earth's world consciousness. What deal? Hello?"
The system seemed to know that it had accidentally let the cat out of the bag, and from then on, no matter how Lin Xi called out, it ignored her.
Seeing that Lin Yan didn't say anything, Chen Chu couldn't help but knock on the table. When Lin Yan looked over, he asked, "Are you sure that activated catastrophic items can also be recycled?"
Lin Xi, who was still thinking about what the system was, shook her head.
Chen Chu felt a little disappointed, but still said, "We still have to report it. After all, it concerns the entire Earth plane, and we can't just rely on a few of us to make the decision."
Upon hearing this, Qingkong immediately distanced himself from the matter: "It has nothing to do with me."
He just came over to chat and then continued to pretend he didn't know.
Lin Xi said with a sad face: "Then should we be ready to sacrifice our lives at any time?"
Chen Chu's identity was special, and her identity was not much better. She couldn't explain her special ability clearly, and the headquarters would probably treat her the same way as they treated Chen Chu.
The identity of the system cannot be disclosed to the outside world, but Lin Xi has some guesses about the identity of the system. The system is most likely Tianyu’s world consciousness.
Anything that can trade with Earth’s world consciousness must at least be of the same level, so the system is most likely Tianyu’s world consciousness.
Compared to Chen Chu, Lin Yan felt that she would die more miserably. Although Senior Chen Chu was a reincarnated spirit, there were billions of spirits in the universe, but the world consciousness was only in her.
It's killing me.
Chen Chu laughed: "Not really."
Qingkong raised his eyes to look at him: "It seems you have a solution."
Chen Chu nodded: "The high priest came to me with great fanfare, so my identity cannot be concealed, but Lin Yan is different. Outsiders do not know Lin Yan's special status for the time being."
Qingkong added in his heart with a blank expression: How am I not an outsider? Sure enough, those who continued to pretend that they didn't know anything after chatting were lying to him.
Chen Chu: "As for me, even if the authorities want to kill me, they have to be able to do so. I have been in the research institute for nearly three months, and I understand the strength of the Kunlun team. Fighting alone, I am not inferior to any of them. Of course, this is not enough, but I still have room for improvement."
Qingkong and Lin Xi took a deep breath at the same time when they heard this. If they could improve further, they would reach SSS level.
Chen Chu: "The reason why the Kunlun team is so strong is because they got the inheritance crystal from the subspace. And I should have it too."
He didn't believe that Hurricane City, which owned the Wind Lord, would not have the inheritance crystal.
Chen Chu: "If I can break through to the SSS level, or even the Venerable level, I will have the capital to negotiate."
