Chapter 127: The Blacksmithing Wizard and the Legendary Masterpiece
After pondering the history of the Yanjiao people for a while, Zhang Ming had some doubts about whether the description in the book was a donkey-headed monster.
"It may be a similar version."
"Because the Flame Horned people at that time didn't even have breathing skills, so theoretically it would be difficult to defeat a donkey-headed monster."
He wanted to look up more ancient knowledge, but found that it only recorded such a trivial sentence.
Most of the ancient history has been lost, not to mention that the Yanjiao people at that time were almost on the verge of annihilation. The so-called "soul-leaving syndrome" was just a disease caused by ringworm and scabies.
Faced with the real chaos of demons, the Flaming Horn people actually couldn't care less about these trivial matters.
"There are so many types of hunters in the world..." Zhang Ming sighed and retreated from the memory library.
Pick up the pot of World Tree with only one leaf and one branch, and put it on the table.
Sit down peacefully and take a few deep breaths.
Then he used his fingers to pinch a handful of salt-like light blue crystal powder and sprinkled it on the leaves of the World Tree.
These crystal powders have accumulated several large mineral water bottles, so there is no need to worry about wasting them.
The withered leaves emit a faint light, absorbing all the ashes of souls.
But soon, the little tree returned to its original sickly appearance, looking like it was about to die.
"Don't pretend to be dead, I know you can hold on for a long time... Xuanwu Continent has not sunk for so long, why are you pretending?"
"Let's do this. I'll fertilize you every day and try to grow up earlier." Zhang Ming grabbed some more "soul ash" and sprinkled it on the soil.
But I found that the little tree’s absorption was already at its limit.
It seems like you can only grow a little bit in a day... So many soul ashes can't be used up in ten years.
Next, comes the real business.
Zhang Ming took a deep breath.
Take out the Source of the World from your chest and approach the withered leaf. The Source of the World emits a faint light, which means that the energy in the crystal is being slowly consumed.
The front side of the leaf is golden and the back side is silver gray, which respectively represent the existence of a Gaia consciousness.
The Gaia consciousness from the earth is vast and deep, as vast as the sky. It represents the collective consciousness of all living things in the world.
This friendly sense of security is similar to the mirage I once felt on the beach.
Obviously, the earth, as a new player, still has some small legacy left in this disaster.
The other is the Gaia consciousness of the Xuanwu Continent, which seems a bit weak compared to the one on Earth.
It is also because of the emergence of a new Xuanwu civilization on the Turtle Island, which is now in a state of second spring.
It is also very kind, and even because of the relatively close distance, the world will of Xuanwu Continent vaguely hopes that Zhang Ming, who has left, can come back again.
"Well... hello, you two, I'm really bothering you to use this function so soon. I've been doing pretty well lately, how are you guys doing..." Zhang Ming said hello nervously.<
/p>
However, it is obvious that these two group consciousnesses did not give birth to a real "self", and they did not react at all to Zhang Ming's greeting.
Sharpening the knife is as good as chopping wood. Zhang Ming carefully sensed the two thoughts and studied them carefully.
They seem...more like a computer program?
Has its own unique rules.
Those with advanced authority recognized by Gaia can borrow some of its basic functions.
For example, check the amount of World Source.
The Source of the World on the Earth side has about 7320 units; while on the Xuanwu Continent side, there are only 680 units.
There is an order of magnitude difference between the two sides. It is true that the Earth side is richer.
"Xuanwu Continent is really poor and barren..." Zhang Ming sighed, and after comparison, he found that the share of the one in his hand may be around 500 units, which is definitely a lot.
One unit of World Source can protect a large fleet for one day.
If the shelter radius is reduced, the shelter time will be longer.
Looking at it this way, 500 units are quite valuable.
Zhang Ming estimates that it can be protected for about 10 years without interruption, which is only an hour!
With the quantitative data, he felt much more at ease.
As for other functions, controlling the weather, moving plates, harvest blessings, etc., they all need to use the source of the world...it has its own set of calculation formulas.
In addition, the generation of the source of the world is extremely slow.
According to the number and intensity of living things, here on Earth, there is only about 1 point per year, and on the Xuanwu Continent, it is 0.2 points per year, which is really very little.
"It is consumed quickly but accumulated slowly... This is no different from making money."
The consumption of the "Consciousness Connection" function is similar to that of "Asylum". 500 units of World Source can be used for more than 80,000 hours.
Although we cannot afford too much waste, it is feasible to use it at critical moments.
The permissions on the earth's side are very strict. So far, only one person has been recognized by "Gaia", that is, Zhang Ming himself.
His achievements are so great that they have affected the historical trend of all mankind. No matter how harsh the standard is, he has already achieved it.
On the other hand, on the Xuanwu Continent, the standards are relatively loose.
Zhang Ming felt some vague identities. They were all candidates recognized by the "Gaia Consciousness" of Xuanwu Continent. There might be as many as two to three hundred? These people might have died, but their former identity marks still existed. p>
"It should be the dead high-ranking Flame Horn people. As long as they have this authority, they can obtain part of the source of the world from the World Tree."
"Looking at it this way, it's better to have stricter permissions. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and sometimes people are not as reliable as AI."
Zhang Ming thought in his mind: "This should be the result of the different composition of civilizations. On the other side of the earth, civilization and democracy are the mainstream, and artificial gods are not easy to appear. In the Xuanwu world, authority and imperial power are the mainstream, and the people may be more superstitious about authority.
, which leads to subtle differences in the operating rules of Gaia’s consciousness.”
There was no time to hesitate too much, Zhang Ming activated the "consciousness connection" function from the earth.
A blue mysterious interface gradually appeared in Zhang Ming's mind.
This mysterious feeling is a bit like a spiritual fantasy, and a bit like being in a lucid dream.
The power from Gaia is not mandatory, he can easily break away from this illusion.
In the current interface, he is floating above the atmosphere, looking down at the entire planet!
Earth World...
It seems that there is only one continent.
I can barely distinguish the majestic Himalayas and the white snow on the plateau. They have melted away at this moment. Instead, there are blue lakes nearby, like eyes, dotted on the land. These should be "Suiren"
"A link in the project.
Urban areas are dotted with stars, and large areas of plains have turned into shallow seas.
Many cities have disappeared, and many more have sprung up.
The biosphere will not disappear, it will just appear in another form. Both humans and animals are adapting to a new era.
Eight years have passed, and mankind has used its own strength to begin the construction of most of the new world.
Looking to the other side, the emerald green virgin forest shines with the luster of life like emerald; the yellow-brown spots on the desert are vast and desolate; on the west side of the northern hemisphere, a typhoon is happening, spiraling
The clouds are like frightened natural spirits.
Looking down at the entire earth, there is a bold feeling that "the world is in my hands"!
Zhang Ming couldn't help but burst into tears again, this is my hometown, my hometown...
The changes in the world are really too big to recognize!
Most of the earth's oceans, about 70% of the area, have been occupied by the blue-black Demonic Sea.
The remaining land formed Pangea.
There are still several pieces of land hanging far away overseas and have not been incorporated
Looking at "Gaia consciousness", does it mean that we should simply give up the flesh?
This feeling of overlooking from a distance is really magical.
As a person with high authority, if he has enough world sources, he can even control the weather and crustal movement in some areas!
Zhang Ming is actually a little eager to know what disaster happened to those pieces of land.
"Just by relying on the authority of the world, I feel like this."
"How powerful must the real realm of gods be..."
However, this "phone call" is at one's own expense, and every minute and every second costs money!
Zhang Ming was reluctant to let his "source of the world" be continuously consumed, so he could only complete his small goal as soon as possible.
"Please help my consciousness connect with the unique individuals in humanity."
The Gaia consciousness of the earth is a little slow, like an old data platform full of shit mountain codes. Zhang Ming urged it dozens of times in a row, and the veins on his forehead jumped anxiously, and it came to a belated recovery.<
/p>
Theoretically, every living thing on the planet is capable of consciousness connection.
But precisely because there are so many life forms on the earth, it can’t tell which one is a human, which one is a dog, which one is a plant.
The current interface is macroscopic: it can be as large as a country, as small as an island, and then subdivided into cities is the limit. It is impossible to subdivide it further.
"Then just randomly select some important people. The people who can be contacted should all be of relatively high status..."
"Twenty to 30, any more and the cost will be too high."
"Hurry up and don't waste my phone bill on purpose!"
Zhang Ming actually wants to find his relatives and friends. No matter how difficult it is, he also wants to find Comrade Wang Fumin to reminisce about the past.
But for such a big matter, the weight of one Lao Wang is obviously not enough.
"Oh, by the way, the image is a little blurry... Although they can guess who I am, they should cover it up. I haven't shaved for a long, long time."
About five seconds later, a man wearing a suit and leather shoes appeared in this mysterious space.
Blond and blue-eyed, he looks like a... foreigner.
"Oh my god! Gaia? Gaia summoned me!!" This guy found himself floating above the atmosphere and couldn't help but yell.
He rubbed his eyes and saw Zhang Ming again, crackling out a series of foreign languages, looking extremely emotional.
"Hey, hey, do you speak Chinese?"
Lao Zhang on the other side was excited and embarrassed at the same time. He even developed a sense of shyness due to social phobia...
Anyone who has not had contact with humans for eight years will inevitably develop social fears.
But soon, Lao Zhang gave himself a lightning strike and overcame this emotion.
"Oh, Chinese, I know it! Is this a dream? I was in the research institute when I suddenly felt another strange sound. It seemed...probably Gaia consciousness?!"
"This is so amazing. Gaia's consciousness actually takes the initiative to contact humans!" This guy said to himself excitedly, "Did you do it?"
"You are Mr. Zhang? How did you do it? Amazing!"
The other person is an American, seems to be an important scientist, and his Chinese is actually quite fluent.
Before Lao Zhang could reply, more and more people appeared in Gaia space, and in the blink of an eye there were more than 20 people.
These people looked at each other one by one, and words like "Gaia" kept coming out.
The more people the consciousness is connected to, the cost increases linearly. Zhang Ming quickly asked Gaia to stop randomly pulling people.
There are also several people among them who speak Chinese.
"Where...is this place? Hey, this is...Professor Peter?"
"Oh, hello, Mr. Qin. This is..."
In fact, most high-level human beings know each other, and even if their faces are blurry at the moment, they can still tell them apart.
Soon, everyone focused their attention on the unknown human being.
There are some vague guesses in people's minds.
"Hello, friends, I am Zhang Ming, and this is Gaia's consciousness space." Zhang Ming cleared his throat and said straight to the point, "I summoned everyone here through Gaia's 'consciousness connection' function.
, and there is no malicious intent."
"Everyone can quit at any time if they want to. But if you quit, you won't be able to come in for a while."
"Are you... Lao Zhang?" One of the vague figures hesitated slightly and said in an excited voice: "I, Lao Wang, how have you been lately?"
The crowd was a little noisy, and more people recognized Zhang Ming.
But there are still a lot of foreigners who don't understand Chinese and are anxiously asking something.
"I've been... not bad lately. To make a long story short, I have something very important to announce to everyone! Everyone, please be quiet!" Zhang Ming actually wanted to catch up with Lao Wang, but in front of everyone, he still said it was business.
Lord.
"The world's predators may have appeared on Earth."
The noisy crowd gradually quieted down. Except for a few people who were translating spontaneously, everyone focused their attention on Zhang Ming.
"World Predators, as the name suggests, are unique species capable of destroying a world. They can discover hidden worlds and lurk in."
"If a novice civilization like ours does not pay attention to it, the disaster is likely to expand and cause immeasurable harm."
Lao Zhang paused and continued: "According to my speculation, a species called Soul Splitter may have lurked into the earth."
Now, the calm crowd became noisy again.
"Mr. Zhang... what is a Soul Breaker?" someone asked.
Zhang Ming said: "A strange creature that looks like a donkey is probably responsible for the plague of the living dead in remote areas. If left unchecked, it will endanger the world."
