Xu Ji stretched out his hand and held one of the strands.
The sunlight, like a living thing, wraps around the fingers.
Just like an obedient pet dog.
This reminded Xu Ji of a game CG he once saw.
He couldn't help but say: "Praise the sun!"
The sunlight between your fingers penetrates into the pores of your skin little by little and merges with Qi and blood.
Xu Ji can clearly feel that his body is stronger than ever before!
Financing money and selling steel is just a matter of leisure!
He let out a slight breath, picked up the cell phone beside him, and clicked on the video.
The video is not long, only a few minutes.
But the amount of information is huge!
"The old god has prepared the way forward for me!"
"Using demons and ghosts as resources..." He murmured to himself, clicked on Prestige, and looked at the information sent by Guiling.
Towering trees tens of meters or even hundreds of meters high rise from the ground in river valleys, mountains, forests, and wastelands.
Under the sun, the crown of the giant tree reflects the beautiful color.
Under the canopy, a scene like a biological crisis appeared.
There were beasts whose entire bodies were rotten, wandering around the giant tree.
There were broken mobile phones, rusted computers, abandoned cars, cranes, blown-up tanks, and even houses covered with spider webs.
Like a living creature, it crawls slowly according to a certain pattern under the canopy of a giant tree.
Humanoid creatures covered in spores, fungi and the like were walking around like the living dead.
At night, there are little fluorescent lights around the giant tree, as if there are countless will-o'-wisps swaying.
The surfaces of the rotting beasts, broken electronic equipment, houses, machinery, and the living dead all emitted fluorescence.
Like fireflies, but brighter and weirder than fireflies.
Looking from a distance, it feels like being in an alien world and in a different ecological circle.
At the end of each video, modern technological weapons from humans appear.
Either fighter jets are roaring and dropping heavy bombs one after another, or warships are launching missiles one after another, rushing thousands of miles away, or even long-range rocket launchers are roaring in from hundreds of kilometers away.
These giant trees have become experimental subjects for human technology.
It unscrupulously demonstrates the advanced and terrifying nature of human war weapons.
In the face of the attacks of these terrible modern weapons, those giant trees seemed defenseless.
Blue, green, and yellow thick liquids flowed out like blood.
The giant tree howled and trembled like an animal.
And everything around the giant tree began to burn in the fierce flames, was blown to pieces, was blasted into the air, and was broken into pieces.
However……
Most facts show that the vitality of these giant trees is extremely tenacious.
All human actions are just a waste of ammunition.
Except for saturation bombing and the strike mode against strong fortress bunkers, there are few examples of bombing that can destroy these giant trees in one go.
After watching these videos, Xu Ji also swallowed his saliva and thought of the so-called 'hybrid demon' he killed in the outer suburbs of Tancheng City.
Monsters from ancient times.
Compared with these giant trees, the so-called ‘hybrid monsters’ are simply ants!
In particular, as shown in several videos, the huge pits that were blown up were hundreds of meters deep. Under the ground, there were dense masses of spores, fungi and a large number of various rots.
Biological freaks.
Xu Ji knew that this kind of monster was something he had only seen in games.
Magical reality!
He dragged the information to the top and looked at the relevant research and descriptions.
"Demon tree..."
"The source of demons and ghosts?" He smiled.
"interesting!"
Just at this time, Guiling sent a message: "Comrade Xu Ji, when do you plan to set off?"
Xu Ji found the target ordered by the old god.
That giant tree was named: Naga Ghost Tree.
After thinking for a while, Xu Ji replied: "As soon as possible!"
That ghost tree is already bearing fruit.
According to the analysis of the old immortal, the fruit produced by this ghost tree should have an effect comparable to the top-grade spiritual food in the mythical world!
The best among them may have spiritual power comparable to low-grade immortal rice!
Even in the world of mythology, such spiritual objects are still useful to Jindan monks.
but……
Xu Ji thought of the millions of stones of spiritual grains piled high in the Hua Kingdom's warehouses, and he shook his head: "Compared with the mythical world, Blue Star's spiritual energy is like a beggar's!"
"This so-called ghost tree is already the ceiling for Blue Star Demons and Ghosts!"
"But it's not as good as the spiritual food produced by one acre of land in China!"
"But..." He sneered: "Now, how can I still be picky?"
“It would be nice to eat some!”
"The right way is to gather the golden elixir as soon as possible!"
The prestige sounded at this time, and Guiling's reply came.
"Comrade Xu Ji, can we leave tomorrow?"
Xu Ji replied: "Okay!"
"Are you going to take a plane or a train?"
"Let's fly!"
"Helicopter or?"
"...Helicopter!" Xu Ji thought for a while and made a decision.
Mainly because helicopters are safer.
Even if something happened, at a height of thousands of meters, for him, at least he wouldn't die if he fell.
But if it’s 10,000 meters, that’s not necessarily the case.
He doesn't know how to soar into the clouds yet - this is the Nascent Soul, or at least the magical power that can only be learned by the Golden Pill.
"Okay!" Guiling quickly replied: "We have made arrangements for you. There will be a helicopter on standby in the botanical garden tomorrow. You can go and board the plane at any time!"
"That's right!" Guiling added: "my country's embassies and consulates in Khmer, Cochin, and Siam have opened fast channels for you. You can contact them at any time and get support!"
"Oh!" Xu Ji didn't think much.
Little did he know that for the safety of his trip, the Republic had done its best.
Two martial arts teams affiliated to a certain central enterprise have passed through Siam and Khmer respectively and approached the valley where the Naga Ghost Tree is located to stand by.
In order to prevent foreign powers from being shameless, regular troops were dispatched to intervene.
The aircraft carrier formation that was originally on a visit to South Asia has returned in the waters near the Lion Country and cruised to the outskirts of Malacca in accordance with the instructions.
Ship-borne ballistic anti-ship missiles are already in place.
At the same time, from an airport in the Beibu Gulf, a huge fleet also began to enter combat readiness.
A large number of electronic warfare aircraft escorted the stealth fighters and entered silence under the guidance of several early warning aircraft.
The Longbot lens on the heavy stealth fighter has been removed.
The magazine is filled with beyond-visual-range air-to-air missiles.
In space, two more spy satellites made emergency maneuvers to their predetermined orbits.
At the same time, several commercial satellites, said to be 'ocean mapping satellites' and earth resource satellites, began to monitor the entire area.
Mobilization and preparations on this scale were carried out quietly, and the outside world didn't even know about it.
However, it is impossible to hide it from friends on the other side of the ocean.
Just like the transfer of friends across the ocean, it is impossible to hide it from the Republic.
"This is a warning, and it's also a line under the line!" In the office, Fang Ming looked at the light spots displayed on the LCD screen on the wall, and said to Gui Ling who came to report.
"We have issued a formal warning to our friends!"
"Don't upgrade!"
"And don't even think about playing cowardly games with us in this area!"
"This is not Cuba, and we are not old men!"
"I believe our friends will carefully weigh and weigh the situation!"
"General Michel, maybe he has already called the Imperial Capital!" Fang Ming smiled.
He once served as the counselor of the Embassy of the Republic of China in Citi for ten years and has a good understanding of Citi people.
Citigroup is the most powerful country on Blue Star that is good at coercion and inducement.
It is also the powerful country that is best at defeating the White Wolf with nothing.
However, the Citi empire is also the most sober overlord in the history of Blue Star!
Even now, the Citi empire is far less sober than it was at the peak of the country's fortunes in the last century.
In the age of demons and ghosts, demons dance wildly.
But, Citigroup’s heritage is there.
As a world hegemon, Citizen people are extremely tolerant.
Moreover, he has an overall strategic vision and a clear positioning of himself and the world.
I think back then, during the Cochin War, the Citi Army refused to cross the 17th parallel.
It would rather suffer failure than intensify the situation and undermine its own global strategy.
In comparison, Maozi is too rough and impulsive.
Today's global situation has affected the entire world.
If the Citizen people open up a battlefield in the east, then Maozi may have to stand up again in the direction of Europe.
Although Maozi is in trouble now, if Citigroup's center of gravity moves eastward, European countries may integrate and accelerate integration under the banner of "Maozi threat".
Protect the European continent, or open up the Eastern battlefield?
This is an impossible choice for Citi people to make.
After all, whether Maozi expands, becomes a steamroller again, or succeeds in integrating Europe, the result is the same for Citigroup.
The Iron Curtain falls again!
However, this time it may have fallen from the Atlantic Ocean.
It was under such a strange and fragile balance that the top military officials of Citigroup, who had always been hawks, suddenly transformed into the "backbone of peace" on both sides of the Pacific.
It’s not that Citi doesn’t want to, it’s that it can’t.
On the one hand, Europe cannot ignore it.
On the other hand, the Republic keeps throwing dumplings, making it impossible for Citi to rely on one or two aircraft carrier battle groups to deter the Republic.
As expected, Fang Ming's smile has not yet fallen.
He received a notification, a call from the Imperial Capital.
After listening to the content of the phone call, Fang Ming smiled at Gui Ling: "General Michel, you are really an 'old friend of the Republic'..."
"I actually called right away and made a guarantee!"
As he said this, Fang Ming couldn't help but laugh.
Gui Ling didn't understand this, she asked weakly: "What do you mean?"
"The rules of the game are set!"
"The officials don't get involved! They don't even interfere!"
"All modern weapons withdraw from focus!"
"Everyone depends on their ability!"
Fang Ming saw that Gui Ling still didn't understand, so he said straightforwardly: "To put it simply, the two parties reached a gentleman's agreement around the Naga ghost tree!"
"Martial arts is okay!"
"Private security weapons are OK, but tanks, planes, and artillery are not!"
"Only RPGs and machine guns are allowed to be used at most!"
"Army on both sides, stay away from each other!"
"Whoever sends the army is a puppy!"
Guiling blinked. Although she didn't understand international politics, she also knew that puppies were nothing to the country!
So, it is inevitable to become worried.
Fang Ming looked at Guiling's silly look and couldn't help but laugh: "My child, mutual trust between big countries is very important!"
"In particular, the tacit understanding and mutual trust between the military leaders of the two nuclear powers are extremely critical!"
"Because once this tacit understanding and mutual trust no longer exist, there will never be peace!"
"and……"
"We will not be so foolish as to believe Citigroup's guarantee!"
"The surrounding combat forces will continue to maintain combat readiness!"
"If they take action, we will take action too!"
"You, don't worry!"
"We have been studying Citi for decades!"
"This area is within the range of our country's military power projection, and it is an area of absolute advantage!"
"If Citigroup really dares to break up here, then..."
Fang Ming looked towards the direction of the Imperial Capital: "I think the hawks in the Imperial Capital will be so happy that they go crazy!"
The area where the Naga Ghost Tree is located is located in the Samjuk Valley on the border between Siam and Khmer.
It used to be called the Golden Triangle.
It is inland and is a natural battlefield for the army.
Without several months of preparation, it would have been impossible for the Citizen people to gather a local force that was strong enough to confront the Republic's synthetic army.
Therefore, if Citi takes action boldly.
This is equivalent to giving the Republic the best breakthrough point.
Under the banner of justice against aggression and interference, the steel torrent of the Republic will sweep across the entire region in an instant.
Completely drive out the Citigroup forces!
From then on, there was no more Citigroup matters in Malacca.
At best, the Citizen can only be incompetent and furious on the Luzon Islands.
"But..." Fang Ming suddenly remembered something and said to Gui Ling: "Xiaogui, you have to remind Xu Ji..."
"This, you must be careful and vigilant!"
"Especially be wary of Silla and Japan!"
"Especially the Japanese, once they have the chance, they will never be soft on Xu Ji!"
“Citizen people may still have concerns and may still have illusions!”
"But the Japanese don't have it, and they can't have it!"
The mountains and rivers are in foreign lands, and we are irreconcilable!
How could the Japanese not know this?
Even if they don't know, Japanese people only need to look at the Republic's ever-increasing naval and air power.
They thought again of the beastly acts they had done.
Then use yourself to judge others, and think carefully about it and become extremely frightened.
Guiling was slightly startled: "Is it dangerous?"
"Yes!" Fang Ming nodded: "So, Xiaogui, you should try your best to persuade Xu Ji..."
"If it's not necessary, don't take risks!"
It's not that the senior management underestimated Xu Ji's strength.
But it requires stability.
In other words, no one knows the origin and background of Xu Ji.
Relevant parties are mainly treated with a cooperative and coordinated attitude.
Otherwise, how could this baby be allowed to leave the country?
Maybe they would have already gathered around to persuade him.
You see, this world is very dangerous.
How about this, you go to the underground facilities in the Qinling Mountains and practice for thirty or fifty years?
How about being reborn after you recover your previous life cultivation?
Don’t worry, we can afford to wait and are willing to wait!
Unfortunately, that doesn’t work!
Because no one can guarantee whether this will lead to a breakdown in cooperation or even make Xu Ji dissatisfied.
If Xu Jirun goes out, who will bear the responsibility?
No one can afford it!
…
The birth and death of yin and yang in heaven and earth are in harmony, the five elements cycle endlessly, and cause and effect collide.
All kinds of obscure, subtle and mysterious feelings arise from the Taoist mind.
Lord Tongtian opened his eyes.
Then I felt the joy of heaven.
Massive omens of merit and virtue emerge from the Taoist mind.
The leader of Tongtian Cult was about to activate the magic formula and return to Biyou Palace, but it was too late.
Endless light rain of merit, wrapped in crystal clear merit stones one after another, sloping in like a tide.
The leader of Tongtian Cult had only time to sacrifice the Chaos Bell, and the light rain of merit had already fallen on his head.
The Chaos Clock was immediately enveloped in a rain of light.
Not only that, the entire Crystal Palace was bathed in this light rain of merit.
The patter of light rain of merit falls on the jade wall of the Crystal Palace, blends into the jade bed, and falls on the floor of the Crystal Palace.
Wow!
Everything seems to have undergone some mysterious changes.
Everything in this Crystal Palace begins to shine.
Every inch of floor, every piece of crystal, every palace lantern, every string of beaded curtains.
Nothing will be the same from now on!
On the palace wall, the illusory clock was solidified inch by inch in the light rain of merit.
From nothingness to reality.
The gears rotated rapidly, gradually changing from phantoms to golden gear structures.
A gear formed from the light of merit.
The iron ball was gently shaken and became round and golden. A set of mysterious formulas were shaken in it, gradually infiltrating into the ball, blending in, and permeating it.
The innate magical power was constructed here.
There are also dozens of round merit stones that dissolve like water and turn into pointers one by one.
Thus, in the eyes of the saint, the embryo of an innate spiritual treasure took shape before his eyes!
As it gradually took shape, the Chaos Clock immediately cheered and moved closer.
One causal line after another stretches out from the Chaos Clock.
The willow tree swayed, and its green branches hung down, radiating brilliance.
Connect chaos clocks and clocks in series.
Winter winter winter!
The Chaos Clock is ringing.
The ripples spread out layer by layer.
The clock gradually dissolved amid the sound of the bells, turning into countless light points that blended with the body of the Chaos Clock.
The light rain of merit keeps pouring down.
In this seemingly endless rain of merit and virtue, the Chaos Clock was almost completely transformed.
The simple clock body gradually became brighter.
The dark yellow bell wall actually has a silvery rhythm.
Winter winter winter!
Even the sound of the bell seems to have changed.
It is no longer as heavy and confused as before, but it is a little more light and happy!
The escaping bells now not only shake the space, but also disturb cause and effect.
In the perception of Master Tongtian, it seemed that even time was being shaken by the sound of the bell.
"This..." Seeing this, Master Tongtian finally understood why Heaven had not sent any merit for several days in a row.
It turns out that the will of heaven lies here.
Chaos clock!
This Xu Ji’s future treasure of enlightenment actually has such an opportunity!
She actually got another chance!
From the treasure of the demon race, it begins to transform into the treasure of the human race!
The Jiuding of China!
The leader of Tongtian clasped his hands together and praised: "Mercy! Mercy!"
"What a great opportunity Xu Ji! What a blessing!"
The words were actually quite sour!
The pH value keeps dropping!
But if you think about it carefully, Master Tongtian can feel relieved.
Because, Xu Ji is not a person from the Three Realms.
It is true that it is not in the five elements and is not born of yin and yang.
He kills without any trace of cause and effect, and his actions leave no trace.
But this also means that there is no reward for what he did!
The merits sent down by heaven do not belong to him.
Even luck, blessings, and opportunities do not belong to him!
However, what he has done cannot be rewarded by the way of heaven!
This is helpless.
The way of heaven can only find another way to transfer his merits, blessings, and opportunities to things that are close to him, such as the Chaos Bell and the Willow Tree.
In this way, Chaos Clock has gained such a big bargain!
Not only was he born close to the path of mathematics, but now, with the help of the merits of heaven, he has taken a crucial step.
Not only did it make up for the many shortcomings caused by the Lich Catastrophe, but it also gave me the opportunity to start over and become a human treasure!
If the Chaos Bell belongs to a monk, this alone is equivalent to having the opportunity to become a quasi-sage!
…
Winter winter winter!
The chimes of the Chaos Clock are vibrating, prying, and changing in terms of cause and effect.
Countless people who have a profound causal relationship with it feel lost at this moment.
"How good! How good!" Great Sun Tathagata sighed: "I am lucky to have gained it, but I have lost my life!"
"After all, it has no chance with me!"
Inside the Buddha boy of the Great Sun Tathagata, the shadow of Taoist Luya spat out a mouthful of golden blood!
The Chaos Clock has broken free from all the old constraints of cause and effect.
This means that this treasure has nothing to do with him anymore!
Even if the Chaos Bell falls in front of him, it will have nothing to do with him anymore!
He is no longer destined for the Chaos Clock!
He has lost the possibility of getting the Chaos Clock forever!
"Who is it?! Who is it!" Daojun was extremely crazy.
He is the son of the Demon Emperor.
The last bloodline of the Demon Clan Emperor.
I vow to inherit the fate of the demon clan, rebuild the demon clan's heaven, and regain control of the heavens. I will even lead the demon clan a step further and regain the position of the protagonist of the world. At least I must stand upright in the heaven and earth and win the land under the sun!
However, the Chaos Clock has nothing to do with him anymore!
The line of cause and effect has been completely severed!
Cut it off at the source and separate it from the cause and effect!
But he didn't know anything!
This left Lu Ya in a state of confusion and unavoidable fear!
I always feel that there is a black hand targeting him, and I always feel that the future is dark!
Because, in addition to the Chaos Bell, he could also clearly feel that there was another Golden Crow that was constantly competing with him for the fate that belonged to the Emperor of Heaven.
That scroll from the Sun Star!
Moreover, the frequency of this competition is gradually accelerating.
Judging from the current speed, I am afraid that without a Huiyuan, he will have to face a Golden Crow of equal status to him!
And once that Golden Crow appears, nothing will happen for a day or two!
Lu Ya knew that his death was about to come immediately!
Tiandao and Sunxing would not hesitate to throw away this old, useless dog.
People are not as good as they used to be, and clothes are not as good as new.
This is especially true for cud dogs!
"No! No! How can I just sit there and wait for death!" Lu Ya was extremely anxious.
He revealed his true form and flew towards Tai Sutian.
It's just an instinctive reaction.
Fuso wood is in Taisutian!
Whenever he encounters danger, he will habitually fly back to Taisutian and land on the hibiscus tree to seek shelter.
