If the universe is compared to a sea, the darkness is the boundless sea, and the brilliance of countless stars is just the scattered waves on the sea.
In the depths of the deep and dark void, ripples suddenly appeared in circles, like a plum blossom appeared in the sky for no reason. The ripples quickly became three-dimensional, and it didn't take long to form a vortex-like tunnel, which was terrifying, mysterious and shocking, and its depth was unknown.

A gray rectangular behemoth jumped out of the tunnel.
This is not the end.
Starships with similar styles, like fish out of water, emerged from the space channel one after another, and gathered into a large group of fan-shaped floating fish in the blink of an eye.
Compared with the leading rectangular starship, the follow-up starships are smaller, but even the smallest starship is bigger than the Changan ship. As the last starship merged into the formation, the space channel disappeared quickly, and the space of the star field returned to calm.
This fleet of tens of thousands of starships did not stop at all after completing the formation, and seemed to be sailing forward slowly and quickly.
In front of them, there are seven star domains that look like crystal balls, each of which is the size of a solar system.
In front of these seven huge spherical star fields, the fleet composed of ten thousand starships seemed insignificant and not worth mentioning. The distance between the two sides is neither too far nor too close. With the speed displayed by the fleet, it only takes a few Earth days to reach the nearest star field.
At this moment, in the window of the command module of the leading rectangular starship, a tall and tall middle-aged man in a dark military uniform is looking at the vast and dark universe with his naked eyes through the window as clear as a scene. A star field built by humans.
He has a Chinese character face with a carefully trimmed beard, his facial features are chiseled like knives and axes, and a pair of small eyes are particularly deep and sharp. The whole person just stands silently with his hands behind his back, which gives people a feeling of looking up from a high mountain.
In the huge command cabin, apart from the middle-aged soldiers on the platform, there is no human being, no busy pilots, and no various consoles. Empty and quiet is the only theme here.
After an unknown amount of time, the hatch of the command module was opened. A young female officer who was also dressed in a standard military uniform, with a graceful figure and a delicate face, exuded a gentle and quiet temperament, walked in with a tray in her hand.
There was a bottle of red wine on the tray, and the goblet looked like blood. The female officer with the rank of captain on the collar brought the red wine to the middle-aged man and said softly, "General, here comes the wine."
The middle-aged general with an iron complexion picked up the wine glass but didn't bring it to his mouth. Instead, he continued to look forward and asked his personal guard: "What did you see?"
The young female officer followed the eyes of the middle-aged general and looked out of the ship. The starship was still some distance away from the seven huge crystal balls. From here, the other party looked like seven gems dotted in the night sky.
"The guilt of mankind, our enemy." The young female officer said without thinking.
Her voice was very soft and waxy, and it sounded very gentle, but it had a gentle power.
The middle-aged general was noncommittal, just took a sip of wine.
"What did the general see?" the female captain asked curiously.
"dark."
"dark?"
"The universe belongs to darkness. Humans are born to fear darkness. Compared with the infinite darkness, our light is too small, not even a boat in the ocean. To fight against such a world, we are doomed to have a bad fate. Do you think so? ?” The middle-aged general said lightly
ask.
The female captain stood upright, but there was a sonorous tone in her gentle voice: "But we are the only ones who can bring light to this darkness!
"In the era of blood and blood, when night fell, we hid in caves, lit a bonfire at the entrance of the cave to drive away wild animals, and later we built countless brightly lit cities; The boundless sea, sailing towards the lighthouse, so there is a new continent;
"In the interstellar era, the darkness we face is wider than the barren mountains outside the cave and the thousands of miles of waves in the sea, but we are still moving forward. Where the light of the starship shines, there is our world!
"General, for the sake of a bright future for mankind on earth, even if we die in battle, we will have no regrets!"
Faced with these impassioned words, the middle-aged general remained calm.
He said: "The entire azure civilization regards us as heretics, betrayers, and splitters. What we have to face is not only the darkness of the universe, but also the darkness of the human heart. In the darkness of the human heart, stupidity brings The darkness is the most stubborn and powerful."
He pointed to the seven crystal balls in front of him, "They say that is the last hope of Azure Civilization, but you know, that is actually the worst evil that Azure Civilization should have. In order to destroy them, we do our best, and we may even Are you not afraid if the entire army is wiped out?"
The lone army went deep and reached the enemy's core area. Of course, the female captain knew the fate of her fleet. Even if they successfully destroyed the seven star fields, they might not be able to return.
She bit her lower lip until it turned white, and she also had fear in her heart, but what was stronger than fear was her belief.
"In the darkest hour, the light is with us!" The female captain raised her head and swore firmly.
The middle-aged general nodded slightly.
He turned his head, patted the female captain on the shoulder, signaled her to relax, and said in a slow tone, "Captain Mo, our life is a life of looking forward to the dawn and fighting against the darkness.
"Perhaps we will eventually fall into this boundless night and become a speck of dust in the universe. Our bones sink silently to the end of the unknown. But we will not give up moving forward, even if falling and disappearing is the fate of human beings on earth.
"Because we are always a group of people who live in the darkest abyss but have a bright heart. Those who are close to my ambition but can't achieve it can have no regrets. It doesn't matter what others think of us. History will eventually serve us. Rectify your name."
After finishing speaking, under the admiring gaze of the female captain, the middle-aged general turned to the window again and continued to stare at the vast star field outside the ship. He drank the bloody wine in his cup in one gulp, "If there is still a history book in the future of mankind."
...
In the autumn of the ninth year of Tianshou in the Tang Dynasty, when Li Ye was reviewing the triumphant army of the Western Expedition outside Chang'an City, he was born with a vision. Two starships, Nuwa and Pangu, appeared. At that time, the soldiers and civilians were all shocked.
Before the commotion in the scene, Li Ye told everyone that it was just the handiwork of the immortals under his command, and it was his early attempt to break the barrier between immortals and mortals.
Since it was written by an immortal, Tang people would not be surprised. They have heard enough about the immortals going down to earth these years.
In the fifteenth year of Tianshou, the barrier between immortals and ordinary people has completely disappeared. People from the Tang Dynasty to Teodihuacan City in the east and Constantinople in the west have become accustomed to the scene of immortals flying across the mountains and rivers.
If it was twenty years ago, immortals were everywhere in the mortal world, not to mention that the common people would be panicked,
Worshiping, once the immortals act recklessly, the mortal world does not even have a check and balance force, and there will undoubtedly be chaos.
But all this is different now. The Great Tang Dynasty has been spreading the cultivation method for so many years. Every household has monks, and there are masters in the real world in every ten miles and eight villages. People's views on immortals have fundamentally changed.
Now everyone generally only regards immortals as great monks, and few people regard them as gods anymore. The most common method used by the people of the Tang Dynasty to motivate their children is to point to the immortal monks flying through the air and tell their children that as long as they are willing to practice hard, they will be like them in the future.
Armed with sharp weapons, flying into the sky and escaping from the ground, this is the inherent expectation of people. One stems from the fact that we have been fighting against various dangers and fears since we were born, resulting in a lack of security; the other is rooted in our blood and our infinite yearning for freedom.
This way of motivating young people is much more practical than telling them to work hard to change their destiny.
In Chang'an Gongcheng, when the first ray of sunlight entered the hall at dawn, Li Ye, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes, and there was a slight strangeness in his calm pupils.
"From Daluojin Fairyland to Saintland, there is indeed a majestic pass and natural moat. The Great Tang has unified this realm for many years, and in the newly conquered territory, countless forces of luck gather every day. But today, I am far away from Saint The environment is still far behind.”
Thinking of this, Li Ye couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. The whole country—it's more appropriate to say the power of the world at the moment—has taken several years to realize the scene of peace in the world, but he still hasn't achieved the state of a saint. He is indeed a little disappointed .
"Compared to the original Goryeo and Wa countries, which have been influenced by our Han and Tang civilizations, the people in Western countries are indeed much more stubborn, and it is very difficult to educate them. Even today, many people have not loyal to the imperial dynasty."
Of course Li Ye knew that there was no reason for his cultivation to break through, but he couldn't rush this matter. It would take time to turn everyone in the world into Tang people from the bottom of their hearts. Even if the Tang Dynasty is now well-organized and the people are harmonious, and the living standards of the people have improved many times, there are still many people who will not be moved by power so quickly.
"Your Majesty, Lu Shangshu asks to see you."
When Li Ye was about to wash and eat, he heard the eunuch report at the gate of the palace.
To disturb him so early, there would be no one else except Lu Linxuan. In order to teach this guy to adapt to the rules of the palace, Li Ye spent a lot of energy. I don't know if this kind of behavior of "ancient people" training "later generations" to know etiquette is a kind of retrogression.
"Xuan." Li Ye walked out of the palace door, and after saying this word, he saw Lu Linxuan was already blowing over like the wind.
Lu Linxuan worked under Li Ye's command, and the latter naturally had to be given a position. Since the etiquette rules needed to be followed, everything had to be done according to the rules. Lu Linxuan is currently managing affairs outside the borders. Li Ye communicates with Weilan Civilization through her, so he gave the other party a position similar to that of the Six Books.
For a long time before, Lu Linxuan refused to be an official of Datang, clamoring that he would not kneel down and salute Li Ye. Later, after Li Ye allowed her not to kneel, she was forced to compromise due to the general situation, but she also asked for the position of prime minister.
Today's Lu Linxuan is very serious, and the liveliness in his body that belongs to the world of justice, equality, and freedom has been completely dispelled by his serious face, "The fleet of the darkest abyss is about to enter our range of fire. One day later, The battle is bound to break out, now we have to go out of bounds to reserve the battlefield immediately!"
