The Grim Reaper Can’t Be Tricked

Chapter 196: The Promised Land (2)

Views:

The Promised Land described in the Old Testament has been deciphered by later generations. The address is probably located in the area west of the Jordan River, south of the Sea of Galilee and north of the Dead Sea. The plain area near the river is rich in resources and fertile land. It is indeed the most ideal settlement in the agricultural era. land.

Noah's Ark fled at a speed close to the light, and kept jumping to other worlds during the period. When he found that it was not the promised land, he ran out quickly, and the other world that was left behind was quickly marked by European gods. surface.

The high-altitude angels are reorganized into air, sea and land battleships. The strange and human beings on the ark can be glimpsed, but there is no time for them to express their amazement and panic. The body of the ark jumping in the different world and the real world The burden leaves them doing everything they can to protect their brains from breaking down.

The escape route was complicated and chaotic, because Yulia didn’t know exactly where the Promised Land was. She could only tell the ark all the places she predicted and possibly the target, and let it run again.

Until the description of "Canaan" in the Old Testament, over the kingdom of Israel deciphered by later generations, a huge black starship suddenly appeared over the kingdom, like an adult blue whale swimming in the blue sky, plunged into the sky like an adult blue whale. In the white clouds of the waves, and then disappeared.

This vast spectacle only appeared for less than two or three seconds, because the ark was too large to be recognized, and people in this land thought they had encountered a solar eclipse.

Yulia's eyes are all black, like ink like a black hole, any light close to it will be absorbed and swallowed, staring straight at the void, as if seeing the size of the universe, black fluorescent tentacles piercing her temple, at this moment she is the ark's Navigation and brain centers.

Suddenly, Noah's Ark vibrated violently. After a while, it returned to stability. Wang Lingxian stabilized his body and waited for the second tremor after a few seconds, which meant that the Ark entered and exited another world.

However, eight or nine seconds later, Noah's Ark was still running smoothly.

Wang Lingxian's pupils dilated, her breathing was a little short, she looked at Yulia suddenly, and asked in a soft voice, "Have you found the Promised Land?"

A whirlpool-like trickle appeared in Yulia's pitch-black pupils, she slowly closed her eyes, retracted all the tentacles rooted in her temples, then opened her eyes, her pupils returned to normal, she turned her head and nodded to Wang Lingxian and the others.

"found it."

Wang Lingxian turned around and informed the others of the news. Wu Lan, Totem and others walked out of the cabin. The deck was full of weirdness and witches, and they stared motionlessly at the city of the sky in the distance.

It was a bronze king city floating among the blue sky and white clouds. The gears under the pedestal that powered it operated like a perpetual motion machine. Above the pedestal were the city wall and the flowers and plants that overflowed from the city wall. In the middle of the city wall was a city gate that could pass through.

Compared to the grandeur of the Bronze King City, this city gate is stingy and doesn't quite match.

From the position of the deck of the ark, you can see that inside the towering city gate, bronze houses are built in steps from top to bottom. Gorgeous flowers climbed out of the city walls and covered the roofs of bronze houses, making it a more exquisite hanging garden.

Li Manyun stood on the side of the boat with a big red umbrella, and said to the complaining boy next to him reservedly: "I like this bronze city, and I will let Huang Mao take it back. I want to plant flowers inside and outside my house."

Tong Tong swallowed his saliva: "Fruit ice cream, fried chicken braised pork, happy water... With the raw materials, is it still far to realize the processing and production of finished products?"

Baimu Nui cuddled up beside Heliu and said, "The quality of living water is better than that of Kunlun's artificial rivers. When the principle is researched, we can dig a river in our yard and you can go in and take a bath."

He Liu smiled gently: "The residents of Kunlun don't have to borrow wicker from me for a little green." She thought a little annoyed, her thick hair was about to go bald.

The residents of Kushinaro are very excited. They still maintain the life of ordinary people. They especially like green trees, flowers and springs. The old town was very ruined. The only green that decorates the mood is the green field that can eat people. Willow has no other plants, so I am very happy with the sky garden at first sight.

The scientists in Li's Old Building were overjoyed that another bronze king city could support plants and springs, and maybe even livestock and livestock, and after research, they found that Kunlun Mountains and Seas were actually thousands of years ago, or even 10,000 years ago. A living city no less than the world.

As described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Kunlun is full of rare and exotic animals.

All the witches, necromancers, seven deadly sins, etc. were also excited. After all, they had been to Kunlun. Although everyone was friendly, the boundaries were clear. In Kunlun, the commercial area and residential area are basically divided and clean, but there is no suitable venue for the entire paradise that suits its own culture.

Even the group of Buddhist cultivators has Kusinara. Thousands of them are so weird that they live in the small area demarcated by Kunlun. Maybe all the witches will move over in the future. Where can they live

Therefore, the appearance of the 'Promised Land' made them happy and solved their worries. The key point is that the city's housing construction, road planning, and green vegetation are quite in line with their cultural aesthetics.

All in all, everyone is satisfied and has a bright future.

Huang Jiang's eyes glowed, eagerly recording every weirdness, Noah's Ark and the hanging garden opposite: "I posted it, I posted it, it would be great if I could get an exclusive interview, from China's god system to Bharat, to The weirdness derived from the European system of gods, all recorded, this must be 70,000 or 80,000, right

There are also the Ark and the Hanging Garden. Listening to their whispers, it seems that there is also the rumored Kunlun... Hiss!

If this is all recorded, the data accumulated by the head office for 5,000 years will probably not be as fruitful as my trip.

Oh my god, my dear classmates, I want to be famous in history, to be a legend, and to reach the pinnacle of human beings. "

Wu Lan crossed his arms and said, "It is indeed a wonderful trip. It feels as if we are experiencing a legend, or creating a legend."

Huang Jiang immersed himself in the record, Wu Lan was not ready to hear her response, but the other friends would be very shameless if they didn't say a word.

She looked back and snorted in disgust. She saw Wang Lingxian, Totem, and Yu Wen standing side by side, looking at the Bronze City opposite.

Obviously, they are not attracted by the exquisite architectural and artistic achievements, but the combination of the perpetual motion of the mechanical gear and the bronze city draws out their soul of Zhong Er.

The three of them moved forward, leaning on the side of the ship, looking at the Bronze City, their voices couldn't hide their excitement: "...will it become a battle starship?"

"Is it possible that this is actually a Gundam? EVA, it's an EVA!" Wang Lingxian took a deep breath and calmly said, "New Century, Gospel, Terror Angels, Humans against Gods, this! Isn't this a Gundam?!"

Wu Lan glanced coldly at the stupid Wang Lingxian. When the little friend became superficial, he could use any reason to deceive himself.

Totem squeezed the ark, frowned and said solemnly: "I don't know what kind of metal material it is, whether it can accept custom mecha, or mechanical exoskeleton armor, the technical requirements of exoskeleton are not comparable to mecha Gundam, it should be able to Do it."

One second Wu Lan was still despising his friends, and the next second he held the side of the boat and said softly: "I remember that the Holy See can transform human beings into semi-mechanical life forms, and the human body can fly freely. The source of power seems to be the formation method. Last time in Hong Kong City, Asura also used mechanical wings to fly, as if the source of power was also a formation."

She has always dreamed of flying with Edgeworth.

Wang Lingxian: "I'll go back and ask Fangzhou, maybe I can study the penetration method, and I can make a mechanical battle for all of us."

When did 'we all get weird'

Wang Lingxian's social bullshit started to break out again, and he naturally placed himself in the weird camp.

Wu Lan: "By the way, what about Cen Jin?"

When Huang Mao was mentioned, even Huang Jiang stopped recording and looked up at Wang Lingxian.

Wang Lingxian: "At the core of the power source in the cabin, the heart is broken and the internal organs are broken. The boss first asked Fang Ark to assemble a simple medical instrument to temporarily stabilize Cen Jin's breath."

Yu Wen: "...What about the boss?"

Wang Lingxian was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It should also be at the core of the power source. Ark hinted it vaguely, but didn't reveal much."

After a long silence, Totem folded his hands together and recited the Buddha's name, and then said: "Let the ark dock first, send a team to explore the city, make sure it is safe, and then let the big troops enter the city."

Wang Lingxian: "Yes."

They all tacitly kept silent about Ding Yiqing and Cen Jin. It was not that they had no doubts, nor that they were not worried. They just understood that they couldn't do anything at the moment. They could only believe it, stabilize the current situation, and wait for Cen Jin to come out alive.

At this time, only Yulia was left in the cabin. She looked down at the soles of her feet. Below the heavy black metal was the center of the ark's power source. The supreme god was sleeping there, and the fire of life was extinguished at any time.

The features of the bulkhead emerged, overlooking Yulia and comforting: "I can feel that they are recovering."

Yulia felt uneasy in her heart: "I can't actually see the outcome of the war, and I don't know who is the winner. I chose Yellow Hair just because I hate European gods." She looked up at Noah's Ark and said calmly in the silent cabin. : "My ability to predict is not strong, it was activated by the influence of Samuel."

Noah's Ark: "Samuel... European God?"

Yulia shrugged: "One of the vests. I was chosen when I was born and was raised as a replacement for the legendary witch, so I started out as a very devout, fanatical apostle. I might replace the legendary witch and 'Samuel' The identities represented by these two people, divination and foreknowledge, assist the saint, that is, the savior arranged by the gods, making him a god held up by human beings around the world."

Noah's Ark was curious: "The history books tell us that among the highly intelligent species, only humans are the most vulnerable. Why do you say that humans can hold up gods?"

"You don't know how strong the belief of mankind is, so strong that mankind can exchange the belief of all mankind for thousands of years for breathing life, and even obtain extraordinary weapons and extraordinary techniques from their power and civilization, so that mankind has A bargaining chip against the gods."

Yulia: "The powerful god system in ancient times basically predicted that human beings have the ability to shape gods, and the source, or core, of this ability is belief.

The gods created by human beings are called saints.

Jesus, the Messiah, the Savior, the drama created by the European gods is not because he is so bored that he spends thousands of years planning the drama just to direct the drama, but the prophecy of the old gods.

This part of the prophecy is called: Apocalypse. "

When Noah's Ark heard the word Apocalypse, it made a sizzling sound, and said something that he felt a little familiar.

Yulia: "In the last carriage, the black box ancient scrolls carried by the Leni family, the most difficult part to decipher is the prophecy of the apocalypse."

She lowered her head, shook her arms, looked at the Promised Land opposite and said in a deep voice, "When a saint is born, there must be a prophet. The European gods self-directed and performed a prophet Samuel, and then fashioned themselves into gods, creating a system of gods. , cultivating a large number of believers, trying to interfere with the historical process of human beings, trying to raise a 'saint'.

But failed.

So dormant for three thousand years, and want to repeat the old trick. "

Noah's Ark wondered: "Why does he help humans cultivate gods?"

Yulia smiled, "Of course it is to be eaten. Human belief is a great supplement to gods. For gods, a pure belief is equivalent to human beings getting the undead potion to become gods."

Noah's Ark: "Then why did your faith collapse?"

Yulia restrained her smile: "Do you know God's trial to test Job?"

Noah's Ark expresses knowledge that God tested Job and took away his property, family and health successively.

There was a icy light in Yulia's eyes, and she said softly, "No one can withstand such a ridiculous trial. When my parents and friends died in the fire, my brother led me to wander around, evading each other. This kind of inexplicable malice, I also had to endure the torture of various diseases, no matter how much I prayed, it was impossible for my faith to remain unshakable.

I knew that Job's test, as long as he passed the test, would be returned to his property, family and health, so I held back and did not waver, I could vaguely feel that it was a test.

Until the legendary witch told me the truth, it turned out that I was not the first 'prophet' to be selected, nor the first 'prophet' to accept the trial, of course those who passed the trial did get their property, family and health back . "

Noah's Ark: "Then why did your faith collapse?"

Yulia: "Because I found out that the so-called health is a living person being transformed into a semi-mechanical life form, and the returned family members are just life forms implanted by strangers with skin, memory and machinery. The so-called gift is a fool to you. scam."

Noah's Ark knew: "No wonder."

"He still wanted to take Frank away, so I completely betrayed me. As a result, the ability to predict was reduced and became very weak." Yulia folded her hands and sighed: "The witch is above, thank you Endo. I know the 'promised land' , or a reminder from the witch Endor."

Noah's Ark was docked at the gate of the city of the sky. Wang Lingxian and several others formed an expedition team to enter the city. Yulia watched the movements outside in the cabin. The Ark temporarily hibernated to save energy.

At this time, deep in the core of the power source, a glass tube with a diameter of about four meters is like a cold pool, about seven to eight meters deep, and it is filled with dark blue viscous liquid. into the glass tube.

In the center of the glass tube, Cen Jin sleeps in it, the blood is completely absorbed by the liquid, the arms, shoulders and chest are inserted into the black metal tube, and there is a metal tube thicker than an arm inserted into the back. of fluid, ruptured organs and blood vessels are repairing at an extremely slow rate.

Opposite him is Ding Baiqing.

Ding Baiqing looked down at Cen Jin, his face expressionless, the hip bones and abdomen under the robe were being severely damaged, the flesh and blood veins were madly torn and eroded by the gradually fused fragments of fate, and they recovered quickly due to their own strength.

It means that the body is experiencing cruel destruction and recovery every moment. This kind of pain is very human to bear. Even the gods will be torn apart by this brutal force, or go crazy in the extreme pain and torture, but Ding Yiqing has long been used to it.

His previous body was not strong, but when he devoured the fusion power of the gods, he was torn apart and reshaped by the brutal force over and over again, so that he had a strong body.

Ding Yiqing raised his hand, held the liquid, condensed it into a long metal tube, and stuck it into his wrist, allowing the ark to absorb energy and transform it into Cen Jin. After all, the energy of the ark itself is not enough to repair Cen Jin's body.

Cen Jin is a mortal, unable to withstand the high development of his brain domain. 50% of his brain domain activation is the limit his body can bear. Even if he obediently promises him to activate for only one hour, it will cause irreversible damage to his body, not to mention Cen Never listen to him obediently.

There had been special training on the body before, but it was useless. The essence is that the potential of the human body is limited. Even if there is no such thing as Europe, Ding Baiqing will find a way to transform his body.

The old Sumerian gods had superb technology in transforming species. European gods stole this part of the technology and shared it with Bharat, so that the Asura family had mechanical wings.

Ding Baiqing had planned to use the mechanical technology stolen by European gods to transform and strengthen Cen Jin's body a long time ago, so that he could withstand 100% brain activation.

Otherwise, if the original human body is subjected to 100% brain activation, it will be squeezed out in an instant.

Two metal pipes with the thickness of arms were inserted into Ding Baiqing's bowl at the same time, and another metal pipe with the same thickness pierced the spine at the back of his neck. The severe pain became insignificant against the background of the fragments of fate.

Time passed minute by minute, and the liquid in the glass tube ended the whole process of consumption and replenishment. The process was completed every two hours, a total of twenty times.

Noah's Ark absorbs the energy overflowing from Ding Baiqing and goes to sleep directly.

The team that went out to explore came back and informed everyone about the strangeness of the map they simply drew and the safe and dangerous areas marked, so all humans and strangeness entered the city in the sky in small packages.

It is impossible to describe how wonderful the city is to meet the imagination and needs of all parties, but it can only be said that it is worthy of the 'promised land'.

Wu Lan and others first found a place to stay in the city, rested after eating and drinking, and nourished their spirits, and then continued to explore in depth, because they found the civilization history books of the old gods in the temple in the city.

Although it cannot be deciphered yet, it can be expanded first, and then studied slowly after taking it out.

In addition, they also found an arsenal, which contains many new weapons that can be used, including exoskeleton metal mechanical aircraft that conform to human body structure.

Wu Lan and others were overjoyed when they saw the hunter, and immediately settled in the weapon warehouse to study various new weapons. They were also friends with Cao Wenning, Gothman and others.

As for Huang Jiang, she was busy recording the old divine history books in the temple, and it was amazing that the partner who accompanied her and was deeply interested in the history books turned out to be the queen-like Ursula.

Scientists from Li's old building divided into groups to study the machinery and architecture of the new city, to study why flowers and plants can survive... and even to study whether the spring water can raise fish.

In a word, people live in peace, and Sky City satisfies all their needs.

When the liquid in the glass tube was replenished for the 50th time, the sleepy Cen Jin opened his eyelids tremblingly, his pupils gradually focused, and his gaze was fixed on Ding Baiqing's face half a meter away.

Ding Baiqing's face was pale and bloodless, but his eyebrows and eyelashes were very thick and black, which grabbed his attention at the first time, and he felt that his eyebrows were particularly bright and instantly stunning.

After staring at Ding Yiqing's face for a long time, Cen Jin looked away and landed on the metal tube on his wrist and back of his neck. His index finger moved, his arm trembled, and his bones creaked with sour teeth.

The nerves were numb, and the pain from the muscles was tolerable.

The process of organ being repaired is obvious, and the heart can be clearly felt from weak beating to strong.

While thinking about the injury casually, Cen Jin stared at Ding Baiqing intently. He raised his weak right hand and moved very slowly until his index finger and middle finger touched Ding Baiqing's cheek.

It feels cold to the touch, like touching jade.

When his palm touched Ding Baiqing's cheek, Ding Baiqing suddenly opened his eyes, the ring-shaped silver pupils first tightened like a snake, and then slowly relaxed, reflecting Cen Jin's face.

Ding Yiqing held Cen Jin's wrist, leaned over, and touched Cen Jin's face: "How do you feel?"

"Won't die."

Cen Jin pulled his lips subconsciously, and found that his mouth did not move, and when he saw Ding Baiqing, he did not move his lips when he spoke. Could it be that the mind speaks

"Similarly, you can also use it as an idea."

Ding Yiqing suddenly explained, which startled Cen Jin.

After a long pause, Cen Jin learned from Ding Baiqing what had happened in the past few days, and asked with interest, "What are you planning to transform me into? A semi-mechanical life form? Will my blood turn into gasoline or metal elements? I What will I eat in the future? Am I still human? Can I transform?"

"To shut up."

"—" After being quiet for a moment, Cen Jin couldn't help but ask again, "What if the organs are corroded and rusted?"

"Decorating machinery doesn't make you a robot."

"… Then am I still human?"

"Are you going to exclude people with metal prostheses from being human?"

Well, still human.

The author has something to say: Red envelope comments.

In the evening, there is a second watch, the one who said to be added.
