After getting off the rail transit, what appeared in front of Bai Qiuran and Tang Ruowei was a vast and vast city.
All kinds of things in the city are made of an alloy with a golden luster. The buildings in the city are towering and the architectural style is like streamlined towers. Between these towers, there are countless high or low tracks and viaducts. Connected, countless vehicles with rune inscribed on their surfaces hover over these tracks and viaducts, traveling to and fro.
Bai Qiuran and Tang Ruowei were surrounded by the crowd, and they followed them down the city's rail platform to a place similar to the exit.
"This way, this way."
The blue-skinned youth who was sitting opposite the two of them just now, with a very enthusiastic attitude and a lot of words, stood near the exit and waved to them.
The two walked over, and the blue-skinned youth warmly invited them:
"I'm going to participate in the Ascension Ritual, let's walk together for a while."
Bai Qiuran agreed, while Tang Ruowei followed Bai Qiuran and listened to everything.
So the three of them teamed up again and walked out of the exit together.
Outside the exit is the bottom layer of the city, but it is still full of traffic and prosperous. The ground is a spacious and flat road with sidewalks and underground streets for pedestrians to walk through.
On both sides of the road, below those huge streamlined towers, there are countless shops, row upon row.
In the center of the pillars on both sides or in the center of the tower, you can occasionally see a huge light screen. Inside the light screen, a puppet with a serious face and full of iron-blooded breath is reading aloud in a passionate tone, which is not known if it was specially synthesized. An advertisement for the so-called Ascension Ritual.
"Churast is worthy of being one of the largest cities in the world."
The blue-skinned youth said as he walked:
"I heard that the Maimai cakes made here are very crispy, huh? Come as you say, there is a shop selling cakes in front."
After all, he walked straight over. There was indeed a shop with all kinds of pastries not far in front of him. The blue-skinned youth walked into the shop and took a light blue one in the cabinet near the shop door. When the flatbread came out, he didn't pay for it, and he opened his mouth and sent it to his mouth.
"Well, it smells so good."
He took a big bite of the pie and mumbled as he chewed.
The blue-skinned youth ate the cake in threes and fives, and then asked Bai Qiuran and Tang Ruowei if they wanted one.
The two refused to say that they were full, and the blue-skinned youth came out and continued to walk with them - he had no intention of paying, and no one from the shop here came out to stop him.
Could it be that this civilized shop is all you can eat and take
Bai Qiuran was amazed in his heart, but his face was calm, he turned his head and glanced at the shop, and found that there were many blue-skinned races in the shop. After wiping hands and mouth, they left without anyone paying.
He looked around again and found that in all the shops around, whether it was a shop selling daily necessities, drinks, expensive accessories, or even a shop selling pistols, those blue-skinned people went directly in, and after choosing their own things, Take it and go.
It's as if they have no concept of currency and transactions at all.
And there are also many blue-skinned people in the store who are wearing clerk costumes and work as clerks in the store. However, there are no cashiers among them, and they only play the role of reception and introduction.
It seems that their job is to come when they want to, and leave when they want to. Bai Qiuran has seen more than once that the waiter of the same store walks into the backstage at different times, changes the clothes of the clerk, and then leaves the store.
It seems that they came out to work as a clerk, just as a concoction in their life, just like those people who have a few apartments at home to collect rent, and who don't worry about living at home and wait until death is enough, occasionally come out to find a job.
For ordinary people, looking for a job is for living, but for them, looking for a job means just "finding something to do".
As for this blue-skinned race, it seems that the entire race is living in this way.
Facing such a situation, Bai Qiuran had no choice but to admire in his heart, even in the Immortal Realm, it has not yet reached the situation of the blue-skinned race.
This requires the material production capacity of the whole society to overflow to a great extent, and the moral quality and ideological quality of the people of the whole society must reach a very high level.
Otherwise, no matter how high the material productivity is, there will always be people who want to turn everything into their own private property. After all, human greed has no bottom line.
Bai Qiuran doesn't believe in human nature very much. He feels that human nature is inherently good, but it also carries the original evil. Babies will be close to their parents, but they will also torture and kill the little bugs that are close to them without any guilt.
Chaos is not yet clear, there is good and evil is human nature, and a tree must have dead branches, and a lot of people must have idiots. Therefore, Bai Qiuran is not convinced that it is the extremely high moral standard that makes these blue-skinned people live so harmoniously. It is some more powerful force that sets the rules and enforces their behavior.
Moreover, these blue-skinned people do not work, so the question of where this society can get such high productivity can also make sense.
Bai Qiuran gradually had a prototype in his mind about the form of civilization under the rule of this puppet civilization, but he still hadn't seen many aspects, so he didn't rush to a conclusion.
In any case, the material living standard of these blue-skinned people is enough for Immortal Realm to study hard, and they have worked hard for tens of thousands of years.
The venue for the ceremony of the Ascension was selected at the top of the city. The two Bai Qiuran and the blue-skinned youth went directly to a shop that sold private transportation, opened a vehicle, and walked along the tracks and viaducts toward Ascension. Go to the place where the ceremony was held.
However, the blue-skinned youth did not seem to be in a hurry. He also seemed to be interested in Celeste City. The group stopped and stopped along the way. The blue-skinned youth touched a lot of things and put them on the vehicle, and Bai Qiuran also followed suit. Something with a simple rune structure.
This civilization seems to stipulate that the goods "purchased" from the store must not be maliciously damaged, but Bai Qiuran naturally ignores these rules. The internal rune structure, the superficial warning and preventive measures in the commodity, are of no use to him at all.
After Bai Qiuran quietly took apart everything that could be dismantled and looked at it with Tang Ruowei's contemptuous expression, the transportation gradually came to the top of the city.
Countless tracks and bridges meander, and in the center and the highest point of the city, they converge into a huge disc. The disc is full of blue-skinned people from this world, and in the middle of them, there seems to be a high platform. , There were also several tall golden puppets standing on the stage.
There, is the scene of the Ascension Instrument.
