Qin Anyi and Wang Yiran worked together under the deep sea for three full days. Qin Anyi went back and forth between the sea level and the bottom of the sea more than 10,000 meters deep more than 200 times.
The number of amber crystals brought here is no less than 10,000!
The largest one is about the size of a fist, and the small one is basically the size of a fingernail.
After three days of digging like this, the efficiency began to decline significantly due to the sensitivity of the green stone in Wang Yiran's body to the crystal.
The number of crystals found at one time was even less than one-tenth of the largest number on the first day. At the same time, both of them clearly felt that the crystals had become extremely sparse.
The two of them walked almost all over the Mariana Trench and were almost ready to collect all the crystals.
Qin Anyi, who discovered such a fact, was a little unwilling at first. He pulled Wang Yiran up from the bottom of the trench, floated to a depth of more than a thousand meters, and then entered another seabed. However, after searching carefully, he still couldn't find it.
No trace of the spar was found.
At this point, Qin Anyi finally understood that the rare crystal should only exist in the deepest trench of the planet. After perhaps billions of years of accumulation, life has been accumulating since the beginning of the ocean.
I must have accumulated so many tens of thousands of crystal stones in my time... Unexpectedly, I was given a spoonful of it today. It seems that if I have time, I really want to thank nature for this gift.
If you hear the number tens of thousands at first glance, you may think it is very shocking, but if you carefully imagine that it is spread over a long time span of billions of years.
This means that it may take a hundred thousand years to condense such an amber crystal!
For such a long time, in the place closest to the center of the earth, it has been squeezed by a pressure of 10,000 meters deep, and finally formed something.
The effect is a bit more magical, and Qin Anyi can understand it.
It's just that he still feels a little guilty for having emptied out all his savings from the entire existence of life on the entire planet at once.
Human nature is inherently selfish. In order to ensure human needs, this planet has contributed too much, and the ultimate destruction of human beings must be due to the depletion of resources and uncontrolled demands on the entire planet.
The Great War of Destruction is just the beginning. Even if mankind barely survives in the Great Destruction War and can destroy the giants under its own leadership, what will happen next...?
"What are you thinking about?"
Wang Yiran saw Qin Anyi standing on the deck staring at the endless sea in a daze, and couldn't help but curiously asked.
Wei Chengfeng was concentrating on controlling the ship. He was already thinking about what to do when he returned to the Death Scythe for training. He kept cheering himself up and strengthening his will, but he did not notice the movements of Qin Anyi and Wang Yiran on the deck.
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about the future of mankind. In fact, sometimes I find it funny. Life is only a few decades. Even if you and I reach the pinnacle of the world, it only takes more than a hundred years. Why should I think about it?
Distant things, whether human beings will finally begin to enter the glory of the cosmic era, or whether they will silently destroy themselves in a remote corner of the universe, the earth, what does it have to do with me? Even... I am not sure that this world really exists.
, or is it just an illusory plane of projection. But sometimes, I just can’t control it, and I always think about it involuntarily.”
Qin Anyi said with a wry smile.
"Because your position is too high, you will naturally want to shoulder the burden of the entire race. If you are an ordinary person like other people, then what you think about every day must be just how to survive, how to
Live better. But you are not. You are the strongest human being. The hope of human rejuvenation is the spiritual pillar in the minds of almost every human being in this era, so you will consider these things because of your shoulders.
, has unknowingly carried the entire human race.”
Wang still stood beside Qin Anyi and said softly.
"This hat is a bit too big." Qin Anyi sighed.
"Only someone with a big head like you can wear such a big hat." Wang Yiran said with a smile.
"You said, if this world is real, then in this vast universe, are there intelligent races like us humans rising and destroying every moment? For these billions of years old at every turn?
For a planet that is 20 years old, things like us that only live for a few decades are just floating. Maybe the planet itself also has life, but just like we never care about floating, the planet has no interest in us at all.
?”
Qin Anyi murmured and asked.
"I think... there is no use thinking about these things. Just do the things in front of you. If the world is really going to be destroyed and you have no power to stop it, then face it calmly and live happily in the last moment of your life.
Some, this is the right way." Wang Yiran shrugged and said.
"Hey, maybe, I even think that this somewhat wavering idea is likely to be a stumbling block on the road to my power. If I want to achieve the ultimate true perfection and completely unlock my own genetic locks, then
I must give up all these thoughts and be extremely determined. Come to think of it, the powerful people who have reached the peak level of demigods have also encountered similar problems to me... They suspected that there is a world on a higher level, but at the same time they also
They are not very sure. This hesitation and doubt ultimately limits them from taking the final step... because they are not sure... after taking that step... whether it will be life... or destruction!"
Qin Anyi's eyes shone a little, and he seemed to be getting clearer and clearer: "The unknown is always scary. Because of the fear of the uncertainty after completely unlocking the genetic lock, so many years ago, there has never been any
There has really been a strong man who completely unlocked the genetic lock! If you are not determined, you cannot take that step without hesitation! The only thing that has limited the ultimate goal of becoming a god is human beings themselves! I understand!"
Seeing the excitement on Qin Anyi's face, Wang Yiran blinked his eyes and then said nonchalantly: "As long as you can figure it out, just don't be stupid like just now."
"What? You're not worried about me anymore? I remember you told me not long ago that you didn't want me to reach the most perfect level." Qin Anyi looked at Wang Yiran beside him and said with a smile.
"That's different. I didn't get this green stone at that time, and thought that I would be a lieutenant general in this life. But now, with the help of this green stone, I have not only reached the demigod level, but also
I clearly feel that this is not just a small thing. At most, I will just follow your footsteps after you reach the state of consummation. No matter where you are in the world or in hell...I will always follow you."
Wang Yiran's tone was very calm, but there was an indescribable sense of firmness.
Qin Anyi didn't speak, but silently held Wang Yiran in his arms.
The two of them just stood on the edge of the bow plywood, facing the vast sea, embracing each other silently under the blue waves and endless sea of clouds.
