"It is said that everything in the world has a cause and an effect. But Ercha, I always feel that in our relationship with Taikoo, any node can be said to be either the beginning or the end.
Take "Shadow" as an example. The first time I heard this title was from Huang Huihong.
But when I was in the ancient times and saw those strange monsters crawling out of the abyss, the first thing that flashed in my mind was the 'shadow', and I informed the singer.
As a result, 'Shadow' and 'Shadow Demon' became the invention of God Kun Kun in the North. Through the mouth of the singer, it spread throughout the ancient Shark clan, and then spanned tens of thousands of years and has been passed down to this day..."
In the center of the huge misty city, in a courtyard that looked like a giant palace, Zhou Yue stood by the corridor, looking at his fellow spiritual pets playing and chasing each other in the courtyard, and murmured to Ercha, who was habitually curled up in his palm.
After parting ways with Jiang He, Zhou Yue felt unusually agitated.
In the past two and a half years, except for the failure to find the whereabouts of the singer and his relics, everything else was proceeding in an orderly manner according to his and Xiaobai's original plan, without ever deviating from the track.
There was only one thing that made him feel sad all the time.
In the two and a half years of this world, he never returned to the ancient timeline.
It's not that he can't go back, it's that he can't go back.
In the world of that era, the clone Kun was already on the verge of reaching its limit. Once it was turned around, it wouldn't take more than three or four breaths for the giant Kun, which roared proudly in the ancient times and was called the Holy Dao Ancestor, to be like those "old brothers" of the marquis level in the ancient Beihai.
It collapsed and disintegrated, turning into essence, blood, and flesh, becoming a delicious meal for the ancient giant beasts and nourishing the spiritual bait.
For the past two and a half years, he has been struggling to endure the call from ancient times.
Whenever it is quiet at night, this temptation will become particularly strong.
In the dark, it seems that the God of Time and Space has turned into a graceful goddess and whispered into the ear, as long as you give up the ancient timeline, everything will be solved, and you will no longer have to bear this kind of unspeakable mysterious cause and effect.
With his current cultivation strength and the isolated "turf" he has created, even if gods, demons and monsters launch a general attack, he will be able to protect himself.
But at this moment, there was another voice lingering in my ears.
It was the song of a deep-sea singer, as if it came from ancient times, and as if it had experienced ancient times and many other eras that I had never experienced before, drifting into reality, intermittent, and vaguely unreal.
That's right, not only Jiang He and the guardians of Same Kingdom, he also heard the singers singing.
Zhou Yue told no one about this matter, not even the most trusted Ercha.
Whether it is Jiang He, the guardian of the Shark Kingdom, or Ercha, who had a good relationship with the singer in the ancient times, they all hope deep in their hearts that the singer is still alive and can suddenly appear in front of people and turn the tide with the power of his ancient ancestors.
, Defeat gods, demons and monsters.
However, Zhou Yue captured a reality that had to be faced from the faint singing voice of the singer.
The singer's singing is not "live broadcast".
It is more like some kind of secret method similar to "recording", which is triggered in a special way under the premise of meeting certain specific conditions.
This explains why a hundred years ago, the singer "choose" to save Jiang He, who had no special characteristics, for no other reason than because Jiang He happened to meet the conditions that stimulated "recording".
The same is true for the Shark Kingdom. The phenomenon of returning to the ancestors of the Sharks unintentionally caused by Zhou Yue triggered the songs left by their ancestral gods.
Of course, this does not prove that the singer is really gone.
But objectively speaking, the possibility of it still being alive is extremely slim.
My palms felt numb.
But the crystal-clear one-horned fairy suddenly stood up, raised its horns, looked at Zhou Yue and said: "So, Ercha has always believed that the only person who can change the cause and effect of time and space and repel the shadow demon and the abyss monster is
Only the master. The singer back then also thought so."
"Back then, the singer..." Zhou Yue lowered his head and glanced at Ercha inexplicably: "Back then, from ancient times to ancient times, how many things did you tell the singer?"
The two-pronged eyes rolled, and his expression was twitchy: "This... it's not much. I just told it about the invasion that will happen in the future world, and the role that the master will play."
Looking at Ercha's expression, Zhou Yue couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
Even if you don't think about it, Ercha must have been "excited" for a while, exaggerating his status and power in the future.
As for the singer's plan for the future, it seems that it is based on the "facts" told by Ercha, so that until now, he has not been able to connect with his old brother from Taikoo.
"Master...Did Ercha do something wrong?"
Ercha's hesitant voice sounded next to his ears.
Zhou Yue smiled: "Of course not, you did a good job. After all, you let me know that even though he missed it because of the monster invasion, the singer still did not give up and left behind a 'relic' that could turn the world around. Even it
We haven’t given up yet, and it’s even less likely that we will give up.”
His eyes shone brightly and he smiled happily.
Before it could say anything else, a palm-shaped shadow that was invisible to the naked eye rose from the huge courtyard in front of it, and in the blink of an eye it was in mid-air.
Opposite it, a purple sword light that looked like a giant bamboo also rose. The sword light flashed away, and when it reappeared, it was like a purple rain that filled the sky above the courtyard.
In an instant, Hei Wuchang's big cat's insect-killing palm fought fiercely with the already-formed small sword, the Sword of the Void.
One was the number one attacker from the four royal families a hundred years ago.
The other one is an extraordinary swordsman who has risen to prominence, and is now a new swordsman who is famous in the spiritual world.
Such duels have been staged almost every once in a while in the past two years. As the level increases, the gap between Xiaojian and Hei Wuchang is gradually shortened. For Xiaojian, this is the ladder of progress.
Ercha turned around, spread out its wings, and flew in mid-air. With a slight tap of its horns, the invisible defensive cover spread instantly, covering the entire city in the fog in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Ma Tuan was cheering and cheering on the side, sometimes opening his armor to increase his speed and strength for Xiao Jian who was constantly shouting. Although Xiao Jian had already broken through to level 21, which was equivalent to Hei Wuchang, both of them had reached the Transcendent Realm. In terms of combat experience, he was still
Not as good as Hei Wuchang Lao Lao Chi.
Zhou Yue folded his sleeves and watched quietly from the side.
In the past two and a half years, he has taken several little guys to travel to the outer lands, conquering places where sub-monsters and shadow creatures gather. Coupled with the supplement of miracle fruits, everyone's strength has improved greatly.
Among them, Hei Wuchang has the highest level, having reached Level 21, and is only one step away from Level 22.
Xiaojian came from behind and followed closely behind, also reaching level 21, and was only half a step away from breaking through level 22.
Xiao Ma Tuan is at level 20, and Huang Huihong is also at level 20. They are not far away from breaking through to the transcendent realm at level 21.
The Fire Ape Mage who has not signed a contract is level 19, the Black Cat Kai is level 18, and the Leopard Head is level 17.
For them, being promoted to five or six levels in two years is simply amazing speed.
The only thing that Zhou Yue couldn't see through was the two forks.
When he announced his retirement that year, he doubted whether Ercha was approaching the transcendent realm.
But after observing it for the past two years, Zhou Yue had a vague feeling that even though Ercha had shown extremely strong defensive power in the lower capital that night, it was still hiding its weakness.
Its identity in the real world should have already broken through the transcendent realm. As for which level of the transcendent realm it was in, Zhou Yue did not deliberately ask, and Ercha did not take the initiative to explain.
The wind in the palm is like thunder, and the light of the sword is like frost.
When the discussion in the courtyard was at its most intense, Zhou Yue suddenly felt something in his heart and lowered his head to look at his feet.
Almost as soon as his eyes moved over, a snow-white and pink creature with two horns on its back appeared next to its calf. It looked up furtively like a hide-and-seek, and found Zhou Yue staring at her playfully. Xiaoyue couldn't help but murmur.
He opened his mouth with a "so bored" expression.
Zhou Yue smiled: "Xiaobai asked you to come? Has she finished her work over there?"
Xiaoyue nodded her head, ignored Zhou Yue, and jumped into the battle between Hei Wuchang and Xiaojian.
Hei Wuchang and Xiaojian shuddered at the same time, looked at each other, and stopped their attacks in unison. They were both a little afraid of Xiaoyue's strange and extraordinary skills.
"Zhou Yue, welcome to come down and see the latest results."
A soft voice sounded next to my ears.
Zhou Yue smiled, turned around and walked into the house.
Just as he was about to hit the wall, his figure suddenly faded, like an invisible and materialless light and shadow that dispersed in front of the wall.
The next second, Zhou Yue entered a huge research institute.
The broad dome, pillars, railings, platforms, operating rooms and other areas made of silver-white special metal material make this research institute located below the ground appear particularly transparent and bright, with a broad field of vision and a large area. At a glance,
There is no end in sight.
At this time, Zhou Yue was standing on a platform like a high pavilion above the research institute.
From his perspective, he could take in the entire institute.
Hundreds of researchers wearing protective clothing shuttled between different areas, taking samples, conducting experiments, or conducting inspections.
Behind every researcher, there were almost a dozen or so little gray creatures with short hind legs and long forelimbs, and sharp teeth and long claws.
The place where the most researchers gather is the huge instrument in the center that looks like a giant heart and an engine.
All participants were preparing nervously and orderly, and some researchers who were conducting other experiments gradually gathered around and watched quietly, with anticipation in their eyes, as if they were waiting for some kind of historic moment.
"Do you think it will succeed this time?"
A gentle voice came from behind.
A smile appeared on Zhou Yue's face: "You asked me to come down and take a look. I must be absolutely sure."
The young woman took two steps forward and stood side by side with Zhou Yue.
Her figure is slender and well-proportioned, her hair is shawl-length, and her eyes like stars and moons hang on that beautiful face that makes people dream. At this time, there is a certain kind of fiery color that is rare to see.
"Who would have thought that the black smoke beads you found in the warehouse of Zhonglu College could one day become the source energy model of this mobile floating island. If Senior Bai Yan and Senior Lei Yuan had not parted ways, but had brought them together
Genius ideas that span the ages are being completed one by one. Perhaps mankind has already entered another new era."
Zhou Yue turned to look at Tang Xiaobai, who had a divine light on his face, and said with a smile: "No matter how good their ideas are, they are just immature conjectures at the time. Many ideas have limitations and even loopholes, and
The only person who dares to turn these conjectures into reality and go further on this basis is the one who truly turns decay into magic."
Tang Xiaobai glanced sideways at Zhou Yue: "Are you praising yourself?"
Zhou Yue spread his hands: "He is obviously praising us two."
It has to be said that some of Tang Xiaobai's ideas are a bit crazy even to the insiders of Lei Neng Group.
But they coincided with Zhou Yue.
For example, as early as when the Battle of Lingdao was just starting to take shape, Tang Xiaobai, who returned to the capital from Nanhe City, was already secretly preparing for the "Ark Project".
As for Zhou Yue, after returning to reality from the ancient times for the penultimate time, he finally decided to build a mobile giant ship outside the Federation for the future Immortal Organization to serve as the rear in wartime.
After Zhou Yue released a teaching video for the first time as "Teacher Yue", he obtained a spiritual object related to Grandmaster Bai Yan - Black Smoke from the warehouse guarded by the hidden master of Zhonglu College.
beads.
It is a spiritual object with four attributes, but it has the potential to become an energy source that can drive a giant ship dozens of times larger than the largest "god-class" giant ship in the Federation today.
After that night in the lower capital, Zhou Yue and Tang Xiaobai brought hundreds of researchers from Lei Neng Group and semi-finished ship cores to the outer domain. After half a year, they finally completed the first-generation version of "The Infinite City".
The so-called boundless city does not mean that this island city is vast.
It's because, hidden inside the island below the city, is an independent giant ship that can travel across the boundless land!
This island, which is no more than the size of Canghai Academy, is able to continuously appear different sub-monsters and shadow creatures, and has become a treasure place for hidden battle groups to improve their experience. This is because it is shrouded in artificial fog and has been wandering.
move.
In the vast sea of Outland, wherever there are sub-monsters, wherever there are shadowy creatures, there will be the ghost-like figure of the Boundless City.
Its area is not inferior to any city in the sky, but it does not require a base or outer rails for fixed support.
However, the spirit warriors of the Hidden World Group who were sent here to engage in the spiritual battle will never know this.
"The energy of the old black smoke bead has been nearly exhausted. The new one is not only more energetic, but also has wind and thunder attributes. Once the replacement is successful..."
Following Tang Xiaobai's whisper, in the middle of the field, the leading researcher took out the huge round bead that was dark on the surface but emitted seven different kinds of light from the silver-gray metal box on the side.
From behind, two gray creatures with short legs and long claws crawled out.
Their legs were facing each other, close to each other, and the two pairs of short legs actually grew and connected together.
"It" suddenly doubled in size, replaced its legs with long claws, picked up the giant energy core, climbed lightly to the top of the instrument, and then carefully installed the energy core into the circular embedded mouth of the instrument.
With a "click", the new energy core was loaded.
Under the gaze of countless pairs of expectant eyes, the light band around the instrument lit up.
Immediately afterwards, the light strips on the inner wall of the ship's cabin brightened row by row, and the entire institute became as white as the blazing sun.
As the institute began to shake, strange and mysterious sounds sounded from all directions, like the sound of wind, thunder, and more like the roar of a sea whale turning into a dragon.
