Chapter 1173 History Until Now

Xiangshan walked among the crowd, and Yinghuo Bird followed behind him. Both of them had an LED light strip wrapped around their right arms.

Yinghuo Bird asked in the private chat channel: "Master, didn't Master Uncle ask you to give a speech? Why did you refuse? I think Master Uncle Xuanyuan Fourteen would be very happy if he knew."

Dugu Beiluo Shimen is not a fragile person.

After meeting someone who resembled her "father"... or someone who looked exactly like the person who played the role of "parent", all the pent-up emotions from years of sibling sacrifice suddenly burst out. After crying, she got back to what she was supposed to do.

The memorial service for Tuoba Xuanyuan 14 is not only for the emotions of the living, but also for the cohesion of the chivalrous group. This is part of the entire Martian resistance.

Dugu Beiluo also hopes that Xiangshan can give a speech. The appearance of the "God of War" will surely inspire the knights.

But Xiangshan thought about it for a long time and finally refused.

"After all, I don't know Tuoba Xuanyuan 14. I heard some legends decades ago, and I saw the video footage for the first time two days ago. If you want me to say some polite words, I can say them. However, I don't want to fill this scene with such words."

"Ah... Master, I think your conversation is quite interesting... I don't think Uncle Dugu is annoying. If Uncle Tuoba were still here..." The Firefly considered his words, "It should be... okay, right?"

"I don't like it." Xiangshan stopped and answered, "I am too frivolous, so I should keep my mouth shut when I think it should be done with dignity. I said nothing at my mother's funeral. I am too used to 'destroying dignity' and regard it as a career. When I was young, I thought that human beings should be free and liberated from all constraints. I am not dignified anymore."

“Is that so? I looked at some memorial blockchains and saw that many knights would upload things that were not solemn between themselves and the deceased…”

"I know that at some memorial services, speakers will tell some interesting stories about the deceased and express their emotions, but I can't do it at this one." Xiangshan shook his head, "Boy, memorial services are to comfort the emotions of the living... So don't force an old man like me to do something I don't want to do, right? I am definitely in the category of 'the living,' right?"

"Oh - wait!" The Firefly was suddenly surprised. "What did you say? 'Old'? Are you calling yourself 'old thing'?"

"Tsk... I almost forgot. Xiangshan hates it most when people say he's old." Xiangshan scratched his head. "After all, I've lived for a hundred years on and off. If you count the memory of Wu Zu, that's more than two hundred years. There's no need to be so surprised when I make fun of myself, right?"

"No, no, no, this is too unexpected. My master repeatedly emphasized this when he was alive! If you meet your master or other martial gods in the future, don't say "old" or "balabala..."

Another signal was being transmitted in the local area network. It was Dugu Beiluo Shimen speaking.

"... We have been on the wrong path for two hundred years. We have been growing up in slaughter and oppression... Finally, in the darkness - in the outer space of the earth, in the shadow of the earth, the knight of the earth issued the correct instructions with the flash of a nuclear explosion..."

"We, the knights, and those civilians who have not yet found the way of martial arts on the Internet - we have always faced the blade. My biological great-grandfather was also an officer. But I spent my entire childhood worrying about whether I would be thrown out of the space station while sleeping - the place where my mother and I lived was the oldest section of the space city, close to the lowest section of the central axis, and small celestial bodies captured by Jupiter would break if they were lightly touched..."

"Those lackeys don't really care about anything... They are all waiting frantically for the so-called 'final jihad'... We shouldn't have any illusions..."

Xiangshan nodded.

Xiangshan himself also has the skill of incitement, and is considered an orator - the original Xiangshan cultivated his ability in this area. However, the speech techniques of the new era are based on local area networks and communication protocols, and are based on the information processing capabilities that standard people have cultivated since childhood. The form is not very different from the speeches of the past.

Communication protocols will filter out information such as tone, micro-expressions, and movements, while communication with others can be maintained through different channels. It is difficult to stop the recipient from communicating, and you cannot ask the audience of Homo sapiens to remain silent as you did in the past.

The challenges facing speakers are very different from those faced in ancient times.

This doesn't seem to be something the Fifth Martial God is good at, and Xiangshan can't judge.

However, judging from the micro-movements of the people around him, Master Dugu Beiluo did a good job.

Xiangshan couldn't help but think of the feeling of his breathing.

In fact, he refused the dedication, and there was another reason that he didn't say. This was the moment that belonged to Dugu Beiluo's master, the tenth martial god disciple. Xiangshan was an old man after all.

Young people also need their own moments of glory to gradually develop a strong mind. Without the support of those special moments in life, even the greatest faith is nothing more than empty scriptures.

Only one's own experiences and memories can ignite the warmth in one's heart. Only the warmth in one's heart can truly become the inspiration of faith and the armor to face challenges.

This is Dugu Beiluo's moment. Perhaps the feeling at this moment will become a weapon for her to face trials in the future.

Xiangshan has always been worried that the prevalence of the "God of War" cultural phenomenon will make it difficult for more young knights to have the same great experience as he had.

Yinghuo Bird and Xiangshan followed the crowd and walked forward. In front of the pile of light strips, Xiangshan stopped, slowly pulled off the light strip on his arm, and stuffed it into the huge luminous body.

[Although we have never met, disciple...] Xiangshan sighed, [but you fight really beautifully.]

"Okay, let's go and have a look somewhere else." Xiangshan said to Yinghuo Bird, "I want to actually see this era and the culture here."

The Firefly finished mourning before answering, "Is this considered culture?"

Xiangshan turned his head and looked at the pile of light strips that filled the floor to the ceiling. "No doubt about it."

............................................................

Before the memorial service for Tuoba Xuanyuan Shisi ended, Xiangshan received an updated progress report.

To put it simply, another senior officer of the Protectorate died.

Before crushing the Knights Templar, Singhorst had already controlled the Knights Templar's main server and satellite signal station through Gu. The information sent along with the distress signal had been screened by Singhorst, so the senior officer who came to support only knew that he would be facing a "somewhat powerful" warrior of the first level.

He never expected that he would have to fight an enemy of the Soul-Suppressing Dharma King's level.

The knights sent by Master Dugu Beiluo have also completed the docking and recovered three fusion reactors, as well as many weapons and equipment that can be used by first-level warriors.

The Soul-Calming Dharma King and Xiangshan only need a small part of it.

Three new first-level warriors will emerge from the Greater Setis region, the area where the land beneath your feet is located.

In the First Heaven Prosthetic Body, the power reactor is the most strictly controlled and difficult to obtain part. If the knights organize hunting spontaneously and seize the reactor from senior officers, then the spoils will of course belong to the individual. The fission reactors produced by logistical knight communities such as Drillers can also be given to which knight by the community managers.

If a knight of the first level obtains extra reactors, or the logistics community accumulates reactors that have not been reserved, then Wu Kuishou will be needed to arrange them.

Some powerful military leaders would even directly interfere with the decision-making of the logistics community. Although it rarely happens, there are indeed cases where military leaders use resources that should have been used as reactors to make nuclear bombs.

In addition, there are a small number of first-level knights who have suffered consecutive defeats in battle and have to rely on Wu Kuishou to allocate resources to supplement logistics.

The martial arts leader must possess sufficient prestige and coordination skills, as well as the military force to control the situation.

Then, Dugu Xuanyuan Shisi organized people to attack the residence of the senior military officer.

Although the warriors of the First Heaven are strong, the prosthetic bodies of the First Heaven must also consider the maintenance issues. Parts that are compatible with the prosthetic bodies of the First Heaven are still somewhat rare for the people in the martial arts world, and the source of acquisition is not stable. When using the prosthetic bodies of the First Heaven to slaughter grassroots soldiers, most of the time the results of the battle cannot offset the consumption caused by the wear and tear of the parts.

If you are hit by intensive and heavy firepower and fail to properly withstand the force, the losses will be huge.

Therefore, some actions also require the cooperation of ordinary knights.

It can be seen that Dugu Beiluo Shimen acted decisively.

While she was wailing for her senior brother, she had probably already made arrangements.

Soon, the Soul-Calming Dharma King arrived at this underground area.

The height of the first level of heaven's righteous body starts at three meters. The Soul-Calming Dharma King needs to hunch over to enter here. He glanced around and sneered, "Are you trying to promote chivalry or something? This is not a good place."

Xiangshan smiled and said, "What do you mean?"

"It's near the factory's heat dissipation ducts." Singhorst said, "The people who live here are often those who have reproductive obligations. Such people's desire for survival overrides everything else, and their rejection of chivalry is also the strongest."

In Yawgmoth's world, humans have only one obligation: to maintain genetic diversity.

If a person does not have two or more offspring, he or she has failed to fulfill this obligation.

Therefore, everyone needs to give birth to two offspring. When paying the gene tax or taking it to the special window of the Scientific Research Knights to receive the knowledge chip, the protector will rewrite the identity code for the offspring and add relevant information about the offspring.

If this obligation is not fulfilled after the quality of reproductive gametes declines - based on the life cycle of a benchmark person, it is after the age of 60, then the identification code will be identified as "losing protection". They are no longer considered "people" and anyone can do anything to them. Many people have made up their minds that as long as they fulfill this obligation, they can be free and live like plants.

The human embryo can survive completely without oxygen. Electrical energy, ambient temperature and a small amount of nutrients are enough for the child to grow.

The hottest places in every city, such as the heat dissipation pipes and exhaust outlets in factory areas, are where these people gather.

Singhorst sighed, "They just want to live. If they see a knight, they will take the initiative to report and drive him away... What's wrong? What's so funny?"

"Well, you still care about chivalry, Soul-Calming Dharma King." Xiang Shan smiled and said, "You know this even better than I do."

The Soul-Calming Dharma King did not speak.

"Indeed, this area's rejection of us is still very obvious." Xiangshan said, "You actually know this. Tsk tsk, you must have lived a hard life..."

"I was one of the earliest knights," Singhorst said. "In the beginning, we were regarded as 'unreasonable terrorists' by the whole world. Is this unacceptable?"

"That's right." Xiangshan said.

"I heard that you declined the...task of delivering a speech at Tuoba Xuanyuan Shisi's memorial service. Why?"

"To me, this news is like..." Xiangshan's hands scribbled in the air: "I lost my memory. During the time when I lost my memory, a child I adopted was beaten to death. Participants in this atrocity were students I used to be very close to... This feeling is very complicated, you know."

"I don't know." Singhorst's tone was strange, and seemed to be sarcastic.

Xiangshan sighed, "I really don't know what happened to the others after Xiangshan's death. To me, every era is crazy and weird. I don't want to understand what happened at all."

"Heh, I think every generation of Martial Gods adapts well."

"Really? That should be it." Xiangshan nodded, "But every day I feel that one or both of me and the world have gone crazy. The Fifth Martial God finally accepted his own era, and then I opened my eyes and saw an even more insane era."

"Ah? This era is even more insane?" The Firebird objected, "I don't think it can get any worse, right? The chivalrous camp has obviously improved, thanks to the efforts of the Seventh Martial God."

"No, it's not the situation of the chivalrous forces, but a more...metaphysical feeling." Xiangshan leaned his head against the soil and said, "Have you asked me about my past before? Didn't your master teach you these? It seems I have to make up for it."

"Wow, listen to the teachings of the God of War in person." The Mars Bird suddenly became interested.

"Before the Fourth Martial God, Yawgmoth was actually just... a radical social experimenter who wielded force. He announced that the old government had failed in all its duties in the past incidents of stealing the country, and therefore forcibly dissolved the governments of all countries. At that time, many people cheered. He was still a hero who resisted the villains who stole the country."

"The 'corporation' form of organization was declared illegal... This was also accepted by most people. After all, Superman Enterprise is also a multinational entity organized in the form of a company, and it has committed such a serious crime, so it must be held accountable. Yawgmoth's behavior was also seen as 'a hero reflecting on the past and cutting ties with sin.' Although some people are worried, the vast majority of humans choose to kill and smash the senior employees of large companies in public to vent their anger."

"Half a year later, the precipitous decline in quality of life slightly overshadowed the enthusiasm. Condemnation of Yawgmoth began to increase, but up until this stage, Yawgmoth was still seen as a radical idealist, not much different from those weird left-wing leaders of the 20th century."

"Some people organized protests, but they were simply dispersed. When grassroots autonomous organizations became a little larger, he simply sent troops to disperse them and exiled the leaders. His achievements were really remarkable, and the basic people were really easy to live on, so most people barely managed to make ends meet."

"What people couldn't stand the most was that he banned meaningless cultural activities. At that time, the soldiers only forcibly dispersed spontaneous gatherings of the people. As for 'banning the production of holiday items'... To be honest, there were no such factories at that time."

Yinghuo Bird was bewildered: "There used to be a factory producing stationery?"

"That happened many years ago." Singhorst shook his head.
"It's still the case now. The LED strips at the funeral can definitely be classified as this." Xiangshan looked at his forearm. A few hours ago, there was still a strip of light wrapped around it.

The Firefly was confused: "Does this count?"

Singhorst sighed: "Maybe it can be counted?"

"Ha, no matter what that idiot Yawgmoth does, things like 'culture' will continue to be created." Xiangshan said, "Maybe he also realized this, so he got so angry? The turning point was when the fourth Martial God appeared."

"what?"

"The Fourth Martial God is creating a new culture and putting it into the old shell. In fact, in the beginning, the knights would still use the names of some ancient figures to link themselves with 'tradition'." Xiangshan fell into memory, "Strictly speaking, it should be 'linking the spontaneous resistance of the same era with the ancient tradition', and then linking themselves with those spontaneous heroes. But after the Fourth Martial God, this trend gradually faded - because people have no memory of tradition. If there are old antiques who have been in seclusion for more than two hundred years, they may still emphasize this to the younger generation."

"The 'chivalrous community ecology' advocated by the Fourth Martial God, also known as the 'sect', became a stable cultural soil. From that time on, the ecology of the chivalrous knights gradually changed."

"That's a pity." Yinghuo Bird said, "The Fourth Master left so suddenly."

"It was indeed very sudden. That old dog Hartmann was very inhumane." Xiangshan shook his head. "Hartmann's massacre tore apart the last remnants of the old era. Although there were massacres in the old era, the voices condemning the massacres never disappeared. But this time... Hartmann was pretentiously deprived of the command of the fleet. It was not that Yawgmoth succumbed to public opinion. I'm afraid that at that moment, he completely turned into something that was not even a human being."

"Dyson's Principles became clear during this period, and the execution methods of the Protectors became more brutal. Did you know? That was the era when Yawgmoth used his power most frequently. He would indeed kill a large number of people because of a cultural event. This order could only be conveyed by him. He didn't mind killing people by mistake. Orders such as 'disintegration of resistance' were frequently activated. This atrocity lasted for about 30 years. At that time, you could even see the spectacle of 'an entire city full of mentally ill people'. The cities of the old era were almost completely abandoned at that time, because there were simply not enough normal people to maintain the city. 'Living in the city' itself is a danger."

Xiangshan nodded his head: "In that era, the fifth and sixth Martial Gods were born one after another... um, there was also the Six Dragon Cult Masters. This was definitely the era when Xiangshan's spontaneous births were most frequent."

"The generation that grew up during this period of time... is very different from the previous generation. 'Culture is harmful' has become a deeply rooted view. 'If you are contaminated by the old culture, you will die', so everyone will spontaneously avoid it. Many cultures die this way."

"The Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and even the leader are actually exploring a completely new organizational form to adapt to the new era. Although the Sixth Dragon Leader has a completely different direction, he is also thinking in the same way."

"But when the Fifth Martial God's consciousness is interrupted and I wake up, hey, guess what? Now the Scientific Knights and Protectors are waiting for the 'Final Holy War of the Third Hundred Years' - Damn! Is this really something that humans can accept?"

Singhorst shook his head. "In the 10th century, lower-class Christians in northern Europe generally believed that the end of the world was only a few decades away. They even prayed desperately for the end of the world to come soon."

"I've heard of it vaguely." Xiangshan nodded. "It seems that the area is constantly in turmoil and full of bandits? Everyone's life is hard, but it's not worth it to just commit suicide. It's normal to look forward to the end of the world."

The Firefly was puzzled: "Ah? Is it abnormal now?"

"How should I put it? There is a countdown announcing the final holy war... It's crazy." Xiangshan said, "I still can't quite accept it, but everyone accepted it? A clear moment of destruction, and it is driven by the will of an individual?"

Singhorst looked up at the darkness. "Tsk... Now that you mention it, I realize that I'm used to it. I'm actually used to it... No, isn't our Six Dragon Sect planning to escape before this?"

"According to the information you provided, the predecessor of the Six Dragons Cult was established before the birth of this ghost doomsday plan."

Singhorst fell into deep thought: "What was I thinking at that time...what were we thinking..."

After a long moment, Singhorst shook his head.

Xiangshan read it from his subtle gestures, and he forcibly interrupted his own thoughts and started another thread of thinking in his mind.

He shared a piece of data: "Some intelligence, and data collected by this Knight Order on AI anomalies. The former is the communication between the Giant Crocodile Paladin Order and other scientific research Knight Orders, and the latter is what the leader ordered to be collected."

"Oh, let me see..."

Xiangshan said nothing. The temperature in this narrow underground space began to rise.

"Fuck..."

"The analysis was completed so quickly?" The Soul-Calming Dharma King expressed doubt. "I think it would take at least half an hour to run the supercomputer..."

"Okay, let's stop here for today's field research." Xiangshan stood up and went back into a narrow corridor. The three first-level warriors crawled forward with their bodies huddled up.

Xiangshan suddenly added: "By the way, A-Niao..."

"Why don't you just call me N... it's weird to take a nickname from a title."

"The single letter N is too easy to have the same name. Single-letter mother's surnames are too common nowadays." Xiang Shan said, "I suddenly thought of something. Do you remember what the fifth martial god created?"

"what?"

"Although the martial leader system is just a sculpting of the Fourth Martial God's sect ecology, it is at least a complement." Xiangshan said happily, "Did you know? The Fifth Martial God is the first person to become a regional martial leader."

A very unfortunate thing happened. A long time ago, Qidian changed the monthly ticket reward to something that can only be won by clicking on several pages in the APP. When the change was made, my mental state was at the bottom of my life, and I hardly paid attention to income. After the diagnosis, I took less medicine. If I forgot, I would only lose 100 or 200 yuan. It was not a problem under the effect of antidepressants. I didn't develop a habit.

I have been typing these days, working day and night, and completely forgot about going to the lottery, and even forgot that May was over and I lost a thousand dollars.

The monthly tickets that everyone gave me for reading other books were doubled last month, but they were wasted. This is the first time I have suffered such a big loss since I stopped taking the medicine, and I am a little emotionally broken.
