Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 146 This is too abnormal (4000 words, updated today)
As time went by, more and more puppeteers began to appear over the city of Jingchenxing.

In order to prevent the pollution from spreading.

Whenever a new puppeteer appears, the Jingchenxing officials will immediately block the contaminated areas.

Seeing that more and more polluted areas on the planet are appearing, the various national forces on Jingchen Star have all realized the seriousness of the situation.

They began to invest more manpower and material resources into the construction of the Tranquil Dawn Galaxy-class spacecraft.

As for Xie Shen, he was still in seclusion in the secret room.

...

quickly
Time flies and it is April 6275 in the Earth calendar.

Jingchenxing Xinxue City.

Inside the underground military base.

In the secret room, Xie Shen sat cross-legged with his eyes closed in front of the sacred tripod.

Suddenly, he felt something in his heart and opened his eyes suddenly.

As he moved, a black shadow appeared on the Shinto tripod.

The shadow spoke in human language, using the voice of Deng Bin, "Brother, how is the situation over there? How long will it take to become a god?"

"Soon." Xie Shen thought for a moment and said, "It will probably take about a year."

"It's going to take another year?" Deng Bin said with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "The situation on Huanrang Star is almost unbearable."

"What do you mean?" Xie Shen asked after hearing this.

Deng Bin said, "Didn't a rhinoceros beetle appear on Huanrang Star a while ago? It was over a thousand meters tall, wasn't it?"

"In order to regain control of the ground, Li Xiu created a Buddha mecha made of black mist."

"Buddha Mecha? Made of black mist?" Xie Shen was completely confused.

Deng Bin explained: "According to Li Xiu, the Buddha mecha made of black fog can borrow a small part of the power from the indescribable creature 'Buddha'."

“And that’s exactly what happened.”

"I controlled the mecha and exerted a strength ten times that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. I easily killed the super giant rhinoceros beetle."

Dunbin continued, "After all the bugs on the ground are cleared, we will transfer the survivors on the Ark back to the ground, and start to devote all our manpower and material resources to build the Huanrang Galaxy-class spaceship."

"Once the new spacecraft is built, the survivors on the Fantasy Earth will be able to escape to outer space for refuge."

“But the problem is.”

Dunbin said with a headache: "You know, the indescribable creatures will not stop eroding the planet."

"Just a few days ago, two super-giant rhinoceros beetles nearly a thousand meters tall appeared outside the No. 009 survivor camp."

"If it's just two rhinoceros beetles, I can probably handle them with my Black Buddha mecha."

"But what about later?"

Dunbin pointed out the crux of the problem: "Based on past experience, the invasion of the planet by the indescribable creatures will be stronger and stronger each time."

“This time there are two.”

"Then next time there will most likely be four, or even 4."

"With so many giant rhinoceros beetles, I definitely can't handle it alone."

"By then, all the factories and workshops on the ground will be destroyed by bugs."

"Without the means of production, the people of Huanrang Star will no longer be able to build Galaxy-class spacecraft, and will no longer be able to escape to outer space."

"By then, I'm afraid everyone on the entire planet will be finished."

"There's nothing I can do about that." Xie Shen replied, "I'm currently integrating my consciousness with the totem. This is the most critical moment in my practice."

"It won't have much impact if I distract myself and talk to you for a few words."

"But it's a little unrealistic for me to regain my consciousness and go back to Huanrang Star to help you."

"Then everything I have done now will be wasted."

In the secret room.

After hearing what Xie Shen said, the black shadow transformed by Deng Bin said carefully: "There is something I don't know whether I should say or not."

"Just tell me." Xie Shen replied.

Deng Bin said: "It only took you half a year from condensing the totem to merging with it."

“The cost is too low.”

"In my opinion, it is not difficult for a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage to break through to the Spiritual Transformation stage."

"So even if you really give up on becoming a god now, even if all your previous efforts are wasted, it doesn't seem like there's anything to be regretful about, right?"

"So why don't you just go back to Huanrang Star first."

Deng Bin suggested: "In short, let's save the lives of everyone on Huanrang Star first."

"After they build a Galaxy-class spaceship and escape to outer space, it won't be too late for you to condense the totem again."

"Is not it?"

this.
Deng Bin's words woke Xie Shen up and made him realize a very counterintuitive phenomenon.

For a monk, the further he progresses in his practice, the more difficult it becomes.

Each time you break through a new realm, the time required is often ten times or even more than that of the previous realm.

For example, Xie Shen himself:

It took him less than four years to break through from the Qi training stage to the foundation building stage.

But it took a full 20 years to break through from the foundation-building stage to the golden elixir stage.

It took a total of 110 years to break through from the Jindan stage to the Yuanying stage.

So by analogy.

When a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage breaks through to the Spirit Transformation stage, it may take at least several hundred years, if not thousands of years.

But it only took Xie Shen less than a year to successfully condense the totem required to 'transform the spirit into a god'.

And he will be able to break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage in the near future.

This was too smooth, so smooth that the process was even faster than a cultivator in the Qi training stage breaking through to the foundation building stage.

Not right.

This is too wrong.

As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. After realizing the seriousness of the problem, Xie Shen said to Deng Bin: "Your words remind me."

"My breakthrough from the Nascent Soul Stage to the Spiritual Transformation Stage was indeed too smooth and too fast."

"This is not normal, don't you notice?"

On the divine cauldron.

The shadow transformed by Dunbin thought for a long time, and then said: "By the way, who taught you the breakthrough method you are using now?"

"I suspect that person tampered with the technique."

"This shouldn't be possible, right?" Xie Shen said thoughtfully, "The breakthrough method of 'Transforming Spirit into God' that I am using now was passed down to me by a cultivator named Hu Fanzhi."

"He is far away on another planet called Haiyang Star, and the distance between us and him is unknown how many light years."

"We usually rely on the Shendao Ding for communication and communication."

“So there is almost no conflict of interest.”

"Moreover."

Xie Shen continued, "I have repeatedly pondered over the two techniques that Hu Fanzhi passed on to me - the Great Divine Art and the Butterfly Dream. After confirming that there were no problems, I put my mind at ease to practice. So the possibility of tampering is extremely small."

"Is that so?" Deng Binfu suggested again: "Why don't you try to contact him and tell him about the situation directly to see what he has to say."

"Reasonable." Xie Shen accepted Deng Bin's suggestion.

He transferred a small amount of spiritual power into the Divine Cauldron and tried to contact Hu Fanzhi.

Lean less.

But another black shadow appeared on the cauldron, and he said to Xie Shen, "Fellow Daoist, have you run into problems again?"

It can be clearly heard that the person who spoke is Hu Fanzhi, a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.

Xie Shenchong responded: "The reason I came to you this time is not because I encountered a problem, but because everything has been going too smoothly recently."

"Hmm?" Hu Fanzhi said after a slight exclamation: "What do you mean?"

Xie Shen explained: "After I condensed the totem, it took me less than ten days to complete the collection of the power of faith and make the totem turn from virtual to real, reaching the level of being able to merge with it. Is my speed normal?"

"Only ten days?" Hu Fanzhi asked with a hint of disbelief in his tone, "How many people are there in the area where you condensed the totem?"

"Uh," Xie Shen thought for a moment and said, "If we only count the permanent population, there are probably about 50 to 70 people."

"Plus, very few people in technological civilization sincerely worship gods and Buddhas."

"So, when converted, it's probably only equivalent to your cultivation civilization, about 10 to 20 people."

After hearing this, Hu Fanzhi fell into silence.

After a while.

He asked Xie Shen again, "Do you know how many people worship my totem?"

"How many?" Xie Shen asked subconsciously.

Hu Fanzhi asked himself and answered: "Not counting the monks, there are mortals living in various small worlds and various secret realms."

"Just within the area under my jurisdiction, there are nearly 20 million people."

"Then so many people came together to worship my totem."

"Under such circumstances, it took me more than four years to collect all the power of faith."

"It is only then that the totem can be transformed from virtual to real."

"Now you tell me that it only took you more than ten days to turn the totem from virtual to real?" Hu Fanzhi finally said to Xie Shen: "Do you think this is normal?"

broken.

Xie Shen frowned when he heard this and said, "But the problem is, my totem doesn't look like there's anything wrong with it, right?"

"I am now trying to merge with the totem, and I don't feel any resistance or discomfort during the process."

"Then you have an even bigger problem." Hu Fanzhi emphasized: "Normally speaking, when we, the Nascent Soul cultivators, fuse totems, the process is often extremely difficult, and there is even a high probability of failure, and we need to start all over again."

"How could it be like you said, that there was no resistance during the fusion?"

"Fellow Daoist, you are now breaking through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul Stage!"

"Practice is not as easy as you think!"

Xie Shen knew that what Hu Fanzhi said was indeed to the point.

But the problem is
He asked Hu Fanzhi again: "So which step did I go wrong? The technique you gave me, or the totem I condensed?"

As soon as I heard Xie Shen mention the word "gongfa".

Hu Fanzhi hurriedly shirked responsibility and said, "I can guarantee this. The technique I gave you is absolutely flawless. I can swear on this with my heart of Taoism!"

Xie Shen then said: "Since it's not a problem with the technique, then there must be something wrong with the totem I condensed?"

Hu Fanzhi took the opportunity to ask, "So what did you choose as your totem?"

"Dream."

Xie Shen described it as follows: "It is a creature that only exists in the myths and legends of Jingchen Star. It probably has never existed in reality."

"But even though they don't exist, dreams still satisfy the two basic characteristics of totems."

“That is, ‘well-known to the public’ and ‘universal’.”

"Using creatures from myths and legends as totems?" Hu Fanzhi thought for a moment and said, "There are cultivators like you who choose fictional creatures as totems."

“But the images of fictional creatures are often fluid.”

"For example, some people think it should be white, while others think it should be black."

"Different places have different versions of fictional creatures."

"Different people have different views on fictional creatures."

Hu Fanzhi concluded: "This leads to the fact that the beliefs collected by monks who use fictional creatures as totems become very complicated."

"In this case, even if the totem really turns from virtual to real, it will be difficult to integrate it."

“There’s even a high chance of failure.”

"So why did it feel so smooth when I was fusing the totem?" Xie Shen asked following Hu Fanzhi's words.

"I don't know about that." Hu Fanzhi was puzzled and said, "Maybe it's because dreams are a special creature and have some special sayings? The totem condensed by it can gain the blessing of certain powers?"

Xie Shen asked again: "Then in your opinion, is it necessary to continue to fuse the dream totem I condensed?"

"Of course we have to continue." Hu Fanzhi said: "When a Yuanying stage cultivator separates a totem, he needs to separate a trace of his soul into the totem."

"That's why, when you fail to fuse the totem, your soul will be damaged to a certain extent."

"If you fail too many times and your soul is severely damaged, it may even cause your cultivation to stagnate for the rest of your life."

"On the path of cultivation, there is only progress and no retreat."

"You chose to give up this time and didn't fuse the totem."

"Then the next time, due to other accidents, it will fail again."

"If this happens too many times, you may never be able to break through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage again in your lifetime."

“So my advice is this.”

Hu Fanzhi concluded: "Just go for it. No matter if there are any problems or not, just focus on integrating it!"

"As long as there is a chance to break through, we will talk about other things after we break through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage first."

this.
What Hu Fanzhi said does seem to make sense.

In the secret room.

Xie Shen sat cross-legged on the spot, looking as if in deep thought.

After a long silence, he said to Hu Fanzhi: "Thank you for clearing up my doubts, fellow Taoist."

In fact, even without Deng Bin's reminder, Xie Shen would have realized it in his heart.

——The process of him breaking through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage was a little too smooth.

If one's mind is worried, then one's thoughts cannot be clear and one's determination in the Tao cannot be firm.

If one's mind is not stable, it will hinder one's practice.

Now, after being enlightened by Hu Fanzhi, a bystander, Xie Shen's thoughts became clear, and the speed of his totem fusion became even faster.

In a trance, Xie Shen felt that his consciousness suddenly descended into the boundless starry sky.

He looked around.

I discovered a planet in the vast starry sky, shining brightly like a lamp in the dark.

If you observe more carefully, you will find that:
High in the sky of that planet, there were many unknown creatures hanging with black lines wrapped around their bodies, which looked like humans.

Xie Shen recognized them at a glance: they were the "puppet masters" that were wreaking havoc over the cities of Jingchen Star.

I don’t know why.

At this moment, Xie Shen suddenly had an instinctive understanding in his heart.

——He seemed to be able to control those puppet masters with his thoughts.
