He picked up the mobile phone placed on the bedside and looked at it. The time displayed was October 1, 2066.
Every time the soul travels back, he feels a sense of alienation. He needs to read the news and become familiar with the modern atmosphere before he can reintegrate into the world.
The news said that due to warming weather, Arctic icebergs, Antarctic glaciers, and glaciers on the Tibetan Plateau have begun to melt, and sea levels have risen year by year. As of the end of this summer, sea levels have risen by more than two meters compared to 2020! 2 meters may not sound like much, but for coastal cities and some countries, it is not a small number! It is an extremely serious challenge! There are 267 million people in the world living at an altitude of less than 2 meters. Those in the Pacific Ocean
The island nation is in misery!
China's coastal provinces are also facing challenges, especially in Shanghai and Jiangsu and Zhejiang. If something is not done, many places will be flooded.
Although China has a reputation as an infrastructure madman and can build a flood control embankment along the coastline to keep out the sea water, it may not be that easy to implement it! Because there are rivers running through the continent, sea water will pour in! <
/p>
For example, in the city of Sh, a Huangpu River passes through it, and to the north is the wide Yangtze River. All river embankments must be greatly raised, turning them into overhanging rivers like the Yellow River.
And the groundwater is connected, and the well water will turn into a fountain!
If it rains a little bit, the city will suffer from waterlogging.
If the sea level continues to rise, and if this continues, it will be impossible to prevent it. Over time, humans will have no choice but to give up and be forced to move to higher places.
In addition to sea water, humans also face the threat of invasion by monsters. Due to the revival of spiritual energy, some sea fish, sea beasts, and birds absorb spiritual energy to stimulate their potential. At the same time, they also activate ancient bloodlines, and then become demonized.
It has only been 40 years since the spiritual energy was revived, and the real demonization has not yet been completed, but it has already posed a threat to ordinary people. Because of this, many people living on the islands moved to the land, and the country leased those islands to Wulin
Martial arts.
After reading these news, Lu Cheng couldn't help but sigh.
To be honest, as a monk, he longs for immortality and hopes for a revival of spiritual energy. But he does not want to see drastic changes in the living environment, and he does not want to see ordinary people displaced.
He thought in his heart: "What can I do for the people? Although I am a witch, I can only protect a city, a county with a radius of hundreds of miles. It is difficult to protect such a huge country from wind and rain. I have no strength.
He is so strong, but he cannot reach the point where he can cover the sky with one hand."
Nowadays, the territory that Lu Cheng controls is a sixty to seventy mile radius around Yawurou. In addition, he also controls three islands and has deployed a large array of guardians on the islands. However, these arrangements have not brought any benefits to ordinary people.
It only brings benefits to the Lu family.
After dawn, during breakfast time, the whole family gathered together.
Because it was the National Day, Lu Qingyan and Ling Shiqi came back with their son Ling Lingqi. Plus Lu Qingshan and Mei Lingshang, and their son Lu Lingchen. In addition, there were the old man Lu Tianming and the old woman Rao Yuqiu.
Ling Lingqi is 4 years old and Lu Lingchen is 3 years old. The two little brothers sit next to each other, they are childish and cute, which is very pleasing.
61-year-old Lu Cheng and 57-year-old Jiang Qiuyun adjusted their appearance to be forty years old, so that they could be worthy of the status of "elders". Otherwise, their appearance would be the same as that of Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyan, which would confuse the two little kids.<
/p>
After breakfast, Lu Cheng called his daughter Lu Qingyan over and asked about her cultivation status.
Lu Qingyan is 34 years old, currently at the seventh level of the Great Witch, and is not far away from advancing to the Spirit Witch level.
Lu Cheng gave her some advice and gave her several bottles of elixirs.
"After three months, you come back and I will protect you and advance to the level of Spirit Witch."
"Okay, Dad."
"In the future, you should spend more time practicing and less energy studying mathematics and astronomy."
Lu Qingyan was puzzled and asked: "Why?"
Lu Cheng sighed and said: "Cultivation seems to be a kind of metaphysics, but as my father's skills improve, I feel more and more unfathomable!"
"Dad, can you tell me more carefully?"
"It takes a long time to say this."
"Dad, please speak slowly. I'll call Qingshan to listen too."
After a while, Lu Qingshan also came and sat on the edge obediently.
Lu Cheng thought for a moment and said: "Darwin proposed the theory of evolution in 1859. In order to explain the diversity of life on earth and the origin of life, he wrote the book "The Origin of Species". He said at the time, 'The theory of evolution is just a hypothesis, and it is not the truth.
Future generations need further verification'.
In April 2020, more than a thousand scientists signed a scientific objection to Darwinism, which read: "We are skeptical about whether 'random variation' and 'natural selection' can explain the complexity of life. This should be encouraged.
A careful examination of the evidence for Darwin's theory."
Lu Qingyan listened with a smile.
Lu Qingshan's expression was as usual, he usually spoke less.
Mei Lingshang made the spiritual tea and poured a cup for each person. Then she also sat down and listened.
Lu Cheng took a sip of tea and then continued: "The so-called 'cultivation' is actually a kind of theology.
Science uses reason as a tool and is empirical. Theology requires belief first and then understanding. Theology goes further on ultimate issues such as the beginning of the world, the ultimate purpose, and the meaning of life.
I advise you to spend more time practicing, because I want you to embark on the road to immortality, have the superpower to move mountains and reclaim seas, and stand firm in the troubled times in the future, and then you can do what you want to do.
I have a hunch that if we use scientific means to analyze cultivation, we won't gain much in the short term.
I vaguely saw that a few years later, after the collision of nine major galaxies, the earth was not destroyed, but merged with multiple planets and became a huge star continent.
It was a strange and bizarre world, just like what was described in the ancient "Shan Hai Jing". There were many strange things, such as zombies. Although a person died, his body existed for a long time and could walk and jump.
He can stand and sit, and he can also wield weapons to kill people!
There are extremely tall building trees whose height cannot be explained by science.
There are also countless monsters, huge in size, comparable to the dinosaurs of the Jurassic era!
There are also many exotic flowers and herbs, each of which has magical medicinal effects.
These are not the key points. What is really worrying is that the humans who have merged from the nine major galaxies include many Heavenly Witches, Heavenly Martial Masters, Witch Kings, Martial Kings, and even Witch Emperors and those legendary gods! Each of them
Behind the great monks, there is a powerful clan, and there may even be a country with hundreds of millions of people.
By then, will humans on the earth become slaves? Can Chinese civilization continue? Will technological civilization be interrupted by barbarians? Will it become a fantasy and disappear in the years to come?
No matter what, human beings on earth will face a huge impact. In the future world, only monks with high skills can have freedom. Life for ordinary people will become very difficult. The so-called 'fairness, justice, democracy, and rule of law' only exist in history books. In the past thirty or forty years, your mother and I have been practicing cultivation. Originally, we were skeptical about whether we could live forever. However, as our skills improved and the spiritual energy on the earth became more and more abundant, we became more and more skeptical about immortality.
I am becoming more and more confident.
I'm imagining what our Lu family will look like thousands of years from now, facing the fusion of galaxies and the impact of the prehistoric world.
Therefore, I advise you to cut the time you spend doing scientific research in half! Focus on personal cultivation and cultivating your children!
I want to see a harmonious and prosperous cultivation family with many great monks standing proudly in the East!"
