In fact, although Li Tianlan is very strong now, it is difficult for him to protect the entire Central Continent perfectly in a true sense.
If it were on the surface, including the sea area, he would need to use his authority to protect a territory of tens of millions of square kilometers. It is simply unrealistic for him now. With such a vast surface, the most he can do is stay within this territory.
Form a certain degree of protection, such as using the power of authority to slightly improve the environment so that the environment is not too extreme.
If that kind of protection is spread throughout Central Continent, when the doomsday comes, the temperature inside Central Continent will be about 60 or 70 degrees during the day, and the temperature at night will be about minus 60 or 70 degrees, and the surface will also spread and be weakened.
It is still easy for ordinary people to contract viral diseases that are often fatal.
This kind of living environment is really too reluctant, so Li Tianlan started to build the main underground city.
Super main city, acropolis, resource city cluster, these will be the main structures of the Xi Dynasty during its underground period.
Li Tianlan moved one to the other and the other seemed to be built in different places, but in the underground space, his lies were enough to conceptually blur and distort the spatial distance. After all, the connection between the underground main cities used teleportation arrays, and the regular ones on the surface
The space and highways cannot be used. Without any way to use them, Li Tianlan is sure to deceive and completely distort the distance between the main city and the acropolis from underground. This is the basic function of the teleportation array.
If Li Tianlan dares to do this on the surface, except for the normal base city in the space, the entire space will become abnormal in the scope that is blurred and distorted by him. Once people step out of the city, they have no idea where they will appear next.
No, I don’t even know where a certain part of my body appears. The instability is too great.
But underground, it would be much easier to operate if everyone's activity area is limited to the city and the teleportation array.
So to put it bluntly, the underground city plan gave Li Tianlan the confidence to protect the entire Central Continent, but this so-called entire Central Continent does not refer to territory, but to people.
The locations of the super main cities are different, but in the underground space, Li Tianlan has erased the distance and put all the main cities, acropolis, and resource city clusters together, or even overlapped them.
Only in this way can Li Tianlan perfectly protect everyone, isolate the harsh environment, isolate natural disasters, isolate deadly viruses, and give everyone time to allow all of Central Continent to begin to gain access to authority, become stronger, and slowly come out of the surface.
Of course Li Tianlan wanted a larger territory. The larger the territory, the greater the population. The greater the population, the greater the luck.
Luck is extremely important to Li Tianlan and to every supreme being. Within the scope of the City of Miracles, once the luck reaches a certain level, I really think that power can just be a carrier, and the power to protect Zhongzhou can be borne by luck.
, In this way, Li Tianlan can mobilize the power of authority and return to a state of suppression but unrestriction in Zhongzhou.
After leaving the City of Miracles, even if Li Tianlan has returned to his peak and reality has become reality, luck will be of great use to him.
This is the truth that Li Huacheng only knew.
Li Huacheng has been wondering about a question before.
Each of them is a supreme, a peak powerhouse, with different personalities, different encounters, different origins, or cold or cruel or gloomy. How come they all start to open up and become saints after reaching the peak authority?
Why are you so willing to devote all your selfless protection to the continuation of the race?
It would be normal if one, two or a few people made this choice, but everyone does this. Is this normal?
For example, the ancestor of the Lin Clan, the first God of War in Central Continent, and the original God of War King of the Wang Clan in Beihai.
This is a character written in history books.
But the history books record his deeds, but not his character.
If Lin Xuanyuan really had the character of a selfless saint, how could the Lin clan he left behind remain in seclusion for hundreds of years?
Because he doesn't have that kind of character at all.
Because he doesn't care.
The Lin clan is his responsibility.
The reason for guarding the original Beihai Wang family was out of love, and the same is true for guarding Zhongzhou.
But deep down in his heart, he didn't care at all about the rise and fall of Zhongzhou. What he cared about was never strangers, nor the rise and fall of the world, but himself and the people around him.
He is so.
The same is true for the one who founded the Beihai Wang Family.
Can this be wrong?
What's wrong with this?
Just because you have the ability, you have to defend a certain force and would rather burn yourself to death than retreat?
Isn't this moral kidnapping?
Care about yourself and the people around you.
stranger
It's not my business?
It doesn’t matter whether such people will make up the majority of this society. What is important is that there are definitely many such people, and it is not a mistake.
Lin Xuanyuan is such a person.
But this kind of person, after leaving the City of Miracles, rose rapidly, and transformed into a saint who protects the tribe and fights to the death.
It's not just him.
It's every one.
No peak powerhouse in the neutral camp would stand by and remain truly neutral in the confrontation between neutrality and order.
all.
As long as the authority reaches the ninth level, as long as it is an intelligent life, every one of them counts, and everything becomes selfless and obligatory.
There is no special reason, is it possible?
The special reason is because of luck.
The promotion of authority is a dangerous, tempting, but irreversible path.
Why is there such a big difference between level four authority and level five authority? Why is it called the most critical threshold? Why is the death rate so high? Why is it the boundary between humans and non-humans?
Because the peak of level four authority is the recognized limit state of life.
Human beings are like this.
any species of intelligent life
This is true for all tribes.
The limit of all life, or the limit of the human body, is the pinnacle of level four authority.
To advance from level four to level five, there is a key point that must be done regardless of authority and cannot be circumvented.
That is to accommodate part of the will of the world within oneself.
The authority of lies is deception, the authority of destiny is sealing, and the authority of martial arts is suppression. But no matter what you say, from level 4 to level 5, you must use yourself to accommodate the will of the world.
The same goes for neutral creatures taking the path of order authority.
Accommodating the will of the world means possessing a small part of the world's abilities. This is the core of why the fifth-level authority can overwhelm the fourth-level authority.
To advance from level 4 to level 5, the amount of world will that needs to be accommodated is not much in the eyes of high-level experts, but for any expert with peak level 4 authority, a little bit of world will is a fatal crisis.
As for the process of accommodating the will of the world, unless there is a peak powerhouse who is willing to use the true brand to assist, which can increase the success rate of promotion, or the Supreme can directly take action and use authority to protect it, so that the promotion can be 100% successful. Otherwise, there is no way at all.
Any way.
There are only three possibilities for such a promotion, either success and escaping from the limitations of human limits, or failure and instant death, or being assimilated by the order, and life would be worse than death.
Today's neutral camp has no way to reduce the probability of failure in this area, so the probability has always been very high, ridiculously high.
If such a promotion fails, there is no need to say anything. If it succeeds, it means nirvana at the life level and becoming a new species.
But level five authority is just the beginning.
After the fifth level of authority, each authority promotion needs to continue to accommodate more and more of the world's will. In this way, the power that can be used by the world and belongs to the world will become stronger and stronger, but similarly, every time
To accommodate the will of the world at one time is also a real test of life and death. The reason why such a promotion is less dangerous than the fourth-level promotion is entirely because you have already had the experience of accommodating the will of the world.
From level five to level six, then there is another key node, from level six to level seven.
From the sixth level of authority to the seventh level of authority, the level of life is from nirvana to ascension.
This not only means that more will of the world needs to be accommodated, but also requires those who are promoted to deeply integrate the will of the world into their own souls.
Because any authority, as long as it reaches the seventh level, will have a passive-like ability. This ability is called releasing the physical form.
Removing the physical form means endless life under normal conditions. As long as you are not killed or the world is not destroyed, the life after ascension will not die.
But hidden under such benefits is another disadvantage.
The will of the world merges into the soul.
What is world will?
That is part of the world. Integrating the will of the world into the soul represents a confrontation that even the Supreme cannot intervene.
It is the confrontation between man and the world.
After the life level ascends, danger comes from the soul. In order to ensure one's own sanity and sobriety, the ascended person must fight against the will of the world accommodated by him at all times to prevent himself from being assimilated by the order.
At the level of seventh level authority, if you fail in confrontation or promotion, you will basically not die. The consequences of failure will only be a kind of order, and you will completely become a puppet of the world, throwing away everything as a human being, like a walking zombie.
, combat weapons, 'life is worse than death.'
The intensity of soul confrontation at level seven is not too high. As long as the promotion is successful and you are cautious, the problem will not be too serious.
After ascension, the seventh-level authority is promoted to the eighth-level authority, and more of the world's will needs to be accommodated. The confrontation between the world and the soul will truly reach its most intense stage.
This is the price of strength.
The confrontation between the world's will and the soul at the eighth level is going on almost all the time. They have gained great strength, but they are also interfered by the world's will every minute. When the authority reaches the eighth level, it is a confrontation between their own will.
The limits of the world's will.
The eighth level of authority is promoted to the ninth level, which is the peak authority.
At this stage, it is said that the promoted person has complete control over his body and soul, and every basic particle of his body.
This is the imprint of another realm after the ascension of life level.
Imprint all the basic particles that make up your body and soul on this world, rejecting all foreign basic particles. No matter what you experience, as long as the world is not completely dead, the imprint will always exist and form its original appearance.
This is the real mark.
The world will that needs to be accommodated at this stage is already incalculable, and the most important thing is that the world will with the ninth level of authority has become truly active in the soul, which means that at this stage, relying on one's own will alone is basically impossible.
Unable to fight against the will of the world to ensure one's own status.
Once you fail to advance from level 8 to level 9, you will not die, but you will not be ordered, but will be completely decomposed.
If the promoted person fails, all the will of the world that was previously accommodated will explode immediately, and all the power and nutrients of the promoted person will be extracted, turning into a special energy group that is extremely majestic, but cannot be used by anyone.
This kind of energy group will spread irregularly. During the promotion process, the person who is promoted will accommodate or plunder everything in the world, and everything that belongs to him in the process of fighting against the will of the world will be constantly reorganized. An eighth-level promotion to the ninth level fails.
A strong man, everything in his body is enough to transform into a vast galaxy or even a star cluster under the starry sky. This is another expansion of the world.
It is not almost impossible to advance from level 8 to level 9 by yourself, but completely impossible. Those who are promoted need to accumulate all aspects of themselves to the peak state, and then
It's luck.
Luck is the faith, worship and gratitude of the protected person,
Approval and other things condensed from a large number of emotions.
Sufficient luck can extremely effectively reduce the burden of those who are promoted, eliminate the threat of the world's will, and ensure that they are in a sane state at all times.
Under such circumstances, promotion requires luck.
After the promotion is successful, the peak experts also need luck to reduce their burden and ease their condition. Once the luck is too little and the world's will fails to fight, the peak experts who have been promoted will not become a mere world.
The stars belong to the world, but they will return and everything must start again.
The same is true for the Supremes. Their absolutely transcendent fighting power means that they need more luck.
If the world's will that authority one to nine needs to accommodate is only a small part of the world, then the so-called authority is almost equivalent to the organ of the world, and the gap between the two is simply immeasurable.
According to Xuanyuan Wushang, he is currently stuck at the stage before promotion. Among the three permissions he controls, life and technology cannot be promoted and can only stay at the peak of the eighth level.
But his destiny authority allows him to continue to be promoted.
An eighth-level prophet with destiny authority.
Destiny authority level nine destiny.
Xuanyuan Wushang has reached the threshold of destiny. His strength has reached the standard. The three powers interact with each other, which is enough for him to protect countless civilizations. The luck he needs has also reached the standard. The reason why he cannot be promoted now is just because he is still temporarily unable to do so.
If you cannot perfectly control the basic particles that make up your body and soul, you will not be able to form a mark. This will take time.
From this point of view, it is not just the peak powerhouses and supreme beings who protect civilization and form its destiny. Beings like Xuanyuan Wushang are also doing this consciously.
This is the key to neutrality being able to form a camp.
Any strong person, no matter what his origin or character, if he wants to live a normal life, he must protect a weak civilization.
Because Li Tianlan is returning instead of being promoted, he can keep his mental state unaffected while taking control of power. However, if he wants to return to the top or even be promoted again, he also needs a lot of luck.
From this perspective, the territory that represents more luck can be said to be what Li Tianlan desires most at this stage.
But his current abilities have limits.
His current limit is to protect Central Continent at most.
He wants to capture other forces outside of Central Continent, even in his wildest dreams.
But there was really nothing he could do.
In a short period of time, his condition could not get better.
In the same short period of time, it is unlikely that the people of Central China will bring too much luck to the dynasty.
If these two things fail, Li Tianlan will not be able to expand his territory. The only thing he can do now is to wait, cultivate the dynasty and gather more luck while waiting.
And when he can't do anything now, facing the fat piece of Xingguo that can be seen but cannot be eaten, according to Li Tianlan's character, what he is most likely to do is to be out of sight and out of mind, and it is impossible to follow him.
Artes and Reinhardt talked about something specific.
Artes went to Li Tianlan first, which seemed to be the right thing to do, but in fact he was just asking for trouble.
but
Li Huacheng suddenly lost interest. Under such a situation, no matter who Artes looked for, it would be a useless struggle and it was completely meaningless.
Now this is Li Tianlan's limit, what's the use of saying anything else?
The only thing Li Huacheng can do is to take care of Zhongzhou first.
While helping Li Tianlan handle his personal affairs, he sent out the "To All Citizens of Central Continent". It's hard to judge the details, but in general, it must be publicity according to a fixed rhythm, so that the people of Central Continent will accept a new concept bit by bit.
era.
His announcement had just been sent out, and he was still waiting for the internal reaction from Central Continent. As a result, Artes' reaction came first.
"Your Majesty Li Tianlan"
Artes pondered for a moment. He originally wanted to say that he and Li Tianlan had a good chat, so as to test the relationship between Li Tianlan and Li Huacheng, but when the words came to his lips, he finally gave up the idea and said with a wry smile, "His Majesty Li Tianlan did not see us.
, he didn’t even respond to our communication, we found Miss Han Xinyan, and it was she who told us that you, the Sage, are in charge of the relevant matters."
sage
A vague light flashed in Li Huacheng's eyes, and he muttered to himself "related matters" without emotion.
"We are here"
Artes said in a deep voice, "It's already very difficult now. Chaos and panic have been continuing. Moreover, it is foreseeable that as the notice from Central Continent spreads, the panic and chaos in us and even other places will become even worse."
serious.
Of course, we are not incompetent. If it were just that, although this result would be unbearable, we are not without the courage to face it. But I read the announcement you issued.
You said that Isabel's disappearance was just the beginning, and if that's true, we all know what that means.
This is no longer a problem caused by chaos everywhere, but an unknown danger is getting closer and closer, and there is nothing we can do about it
We don't even know what the so-called danger is."
Artes looked at Li Huacheng sincerely, "Li, we need the truth. I want to know what happened and what the future of this world will be like."
"Are you looking for me just to know what happened?"
Li Huacheng spoke slowly.
Ates didn't speak for a while.
Li Huacheng was not in a hurry and waited quietly.
With a slight friction sound, Ates lit a match and lit the half cigar in front of him again. Amid the smoke, he seemed to have become much calmer.
"There is already a problem in Zhongzhou, right?"
Ates asked.
Li Huacheng raised his eyebrows.
"Your Excellency Speaker."
A
Tais said, "Excuse me, what is the identity of the sage?"
"Former Speaker."
Li Huacheng said slowly, "I will no longer have this title in the future. I am now a sage of the dynasty."
"A dynasty, a dynasty in Central Continent? Where is your king, or emperor? Is it His Majesty the Eastern Emperor?"
Ates continued to ask.
"Xi Dynasty·Huang Xi·Li Tianlan."
Li Huacheng answered very briefly and directly.
Ates fell silent again.
Everything seemed to be as he had guessed, Central Continent was undergoing an unprecedented change, but not many people seemed to know about this change yet.
Artes believes that this is not meaningless. The change in the system may seem like just a change of name, but in fact, it is equivalent to a different governance concept.
He didn't know what he was thinking. After a long silence, Ates heard a voice that seemed to be crying and laughing at the same time: "He conquered you."
"No."
Li Huacheng said calmly, "He chose us, and then we merged with each other. We both feel very honored to each other."
Artes took a deep breath on his cigar. He simply stopped trying to hide his purpose. "I want to know if there is a place for us in this kind of integration. We can talk about it more or less. I am willing to believe your doomsday remarks."
, and it is obvious now that we need a certain amount of help here, and we are willing to pay the price. For example, here, the territory under my feet is only slightly smaller than Central Continent. If we can join the Xi Dynasty, this territory will also
Be part of a dynasty.
His Majesty Huang Xi will have the support of all of us."
His voice was calm and calm, with strong confidence.
But Li Huacheng on the screen did not show a happy expression as he expected, but fell silent.
Time passed by second by second in his silence.
The confidence on Ates's face began to stiffen, and his expression collapsed little by little, and then completely collapsed, becoming unbelievable.
"I don't understand."
Ates subconsciously raised his voice, "What are you hesitating about? No, you are actually hesitating? Why?"
"I really want to promise you, believe me, I really want to, and your Majesty must also want to."
Li Huacheng smiled expressionlessly, "But, I'm sorry. I'm also sorry for the situation there, but there's nothing we can do."
"What, what can't be done?"
Artes stuttered, "Is this your decision? The decision you made on behalf of Li Tianlan? He definitely doesn't know about your behavior. You have to understand."
"No, you have to understand now."
Li Huacheng said softly, "This world is no longer the same."
"What's different? Why is it different? What's going to happen in the future? I need to know the truth."
"I can give you the truth."
Li Huacheng said, "But only the truth."
"ha."
Artes laughed, and his emotions were clearly starting to get out of control. Ever since Li Huacheng said there was nothing they could do, maybe he subconsciously believed in the doomsday, and knew that Zhongzhou would not save them, and believed that only Zhongzhou could save them, so when After losing hope, his mentality obviously began to become fragmented. "Should I say thank you to you? Thank you for your generosity?"
"That's not generosity."
Li Huacheng said calmly, "This is a deal."
Artes breathed rapidly and stared at the screen fiercely, "Trading, okay, I like trading, what do you want to trade?"
"I can give you the truth, and I can even give you a way to give a small number of people hope to survive this disaster."
The truth really exists.
Disasters do happen.
Ways for a few people to survive disasters
Ates's heart was cold, and for a few people, it was clear what these words meant.
This means that at least in the eyes of Li Huacheng, who holds the truth, most people outside of Central Continent have no chance of surviving this disaster.
"We can join Central Continent. We are completely willing to become a part of the Xi Dynasty. Isn't that enough? Everything here can belong to the dynasty. Don't we have any chance?"
There was even a hint of pleading in Ates's voice.
Li Huacheng turned his eyes away slightly and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, as long as we have the energy to spare, we will not ignore death. Maybe you don't know. Population and territory are what we need most now, but unfortunately, we have no way to go there." I got more, and the current Zhongzhou is already at its limit."
Ates looked at Li Huacheng blankly.
At this moment, various thoughts were flashing in his mind, and his eyes became extremely crazy at a certain moment.
But in the end, all his emotions were suppressed by him.
He closed his eyes and said slowly, "Tell me what you want."
"Materials."
Li Huacheng said calmly, "A large amount of supplies, consumables, food, medicine, clothing, etc. that can be used in emergencies, as well as some other resources, especially gold."
"You will find a way to survive the disaster with a high probability. Zhongzhou can even send some of its forces to support you within a certain period of time, but such support will not be too much, and there will not be enough time, so
Only a small number of people can barely survive a disaster."
Ates's face changed.
"I need a lot of supplies to protect my dynasty."
Li Huacheng said softly, "Now, it's your turn to answer me. Are you willing to betray your own force in order to survive?"
Ates's face suddenly twisted.
Li Huacheng's words were light and airy, but they were like a heart-piercing knife, cutting Ates into pieces.
