Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 187 Supplies
"This is impossible!"

Xie Shen questioned, "What you saw is different from the actual situation. Could it be because the distance is too far?
"After all, the distance between different planets in the universe is often thousands or even tens of thousands of light years."

"And because light takes time to travel."

"So what you see through the telescope is probably just the scene from thousands or tens of thousands of years ago."

Xie Shen guessed: "Perhaps, the people on this planet did have very advanced technology thousands of years ago."

"But for some unknown reason, their civilization declined."

“So there is everything I see now.”

"Didn't I just say that?" Li Xiu reminded Xie Shen, "I recently bought a lot of technology blueprints from Chou Yuan, the manager of the Aldebaran star system."

"This includes the Star Telescope."

"The improved star telescope no longer simply reflects infrared light and uses the spectrum to form images."

"I also added space teleportation technology into it."

Li Xiu explained: "In short, it is to transmit infrared light from thousands or even tens of thousands of light years away directly to the near-infrared imager of the telescope."

"With this technology, light, no matter how far away it is, can be seen by the naked eye in an instant."

At last.

Li Xiu concluded: "So, there can't be anything wrong with what I saw."

"The planet you are on is an interstellar civilization that is mainly technologically advanced."

"But the problem is." Xie Shen couldn't figure it out: "It can't be that everything I'm experiencing now is fake, right?"

"I am already a cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation Stage, and I have divine consciousness."

"If this world is a virtual world, generated by a supercomputer, then I would have sensed it a long time ago with my spiritual sense."

"Hmm," Li Xiu followed Xie Shen's analysis and said, "Then let's rule out the possibility of a virtual world for now."

"In this case, there are only two guesses left for me."

"Which two?" Xie Shen asked subconsciously.

Li Xiudao: "The first guess."

"Everything I saw was an illusion, arranged by the powerful practitioners of this world to achieve a certain purpose."

"That is, everything you experience is real."

reasonable.

After hearing this, Xie Shen thought for a moment and said, "If it was the work of a powerful cultivator, such as a cultivator at the Spiritualization Stage or even the Fusion Stage."

"Then it wouldn't be that difficult for him to disguise the entire planet with illusions."

talking.

Xie Shen asked, "What's your second guess?"

Li Xiu asked Xie Shen in return: "Do you still remember the flesh and blood and mirror world on Earth?"

"There is also a small fairyland world on Tianyuan Star."

"A small world like this hidden on a planet can not only form naturally."

“The cultivators in the Spiritualization Stage can also open it up on their own through great magical powers.”

Xie Shen understood what Li Xiu said.

He then said, "So what you mean is that the place I am currently in is also very likely a small world opened up by some powerful person?"

"It was not created by a certain powerful person." Li Xiu corrected, "It was created by a certain civilization with a highly advanced technology."

"To put it simply, you are in a small world created by advanced civilization using technology."

"That's why what I saw was so different from what you actually experienced."

Li Xiu concluded.

"I have two guesses: this is the work of a powerful cultivator, or it is the work of a high-tech civilization."

"As for which one the answer is, it's up to you to figure it out."

It is obviously impossible to lift the veil that shrouds this world in a short period of time.

The most urgent task at the moment is to find a way to improve the strength of this body.

After all, only when you have strength can you have more room for maneuver.

Considering that there is no extraordinary power on this planet, it is impossible to practice. Xie Shenchong asked Li Xiu: "Can you support me with some high-tech equipment? For example, the nano armor you gave me last time, do you still have it in your laboratory?"

"Yes, there is." Li Xiu said, "But almost all the high-tech equipment I have requires extraordinary power to operate."

“For example, spiritual power, for example, black mist.

"And your planet doesn't have even a single bit of supernatural power."

"This problem is easy to solve." Xie Shen said calmly: "To deal with this kind of situation, I have stored a lot of spiritual energy replenishing pills and a large amount of black mist in glass in my storage bag."

"With these stocks, plus my spiritual power, it shouldn't be a big problem to cultivate to the foundation-building stage in one go."

"Foundation Building Stage cultivation, plus the high-tech equipment you gave me"

Xie Shen estimated: "In this way, I will have the combat power comparable to that of a Jindan-stage cultivator, which is enough to deal with the current situation."

Since Xie Shen said so, Li Xiu naturally no longer had any concerns.

Through the Shinto tripod.

Li Xiu sent over a metal ball that could be transformed into nano-scale armor, a bracelet that could generate an energy shield, and an energy gun that could charge itself.

"sure!"

in the room.

After getting these equipments, Xie Shen was in a good mood and was planning to chat with Li Xiu more.

But suddenly, there were footsteps sounds in the distance.

Xie Shen, who detected the commotion with his spiritual sense, hurriedly put the Shendao Ding and the equipment given by Li Xiu into his storage bag.

He quickly calmed himself down and sat motionless on the bed.

next second.

All I heard was a shrill voice outside the door.

Sounds like a eunuch in the palace.

The voice asked, "Is the eldest prince in the room?"

"Your Majesty has always been thinking about you in his heart."

"No."

"He came to see you right after the court."

"Pick up your things quickly, we'll be coming in soon."

Hearing this, Xie Shen hurriedly used his spiritual sense to scan outside the house.

Seeing that the visitor was indeed the emperor and the chief eunuch beside him, he responded, "Please come in."

'squeak'

The voice just fell.

Then the eunuch pushed the door open quietly and bowed to lead the emperor in.

When the emperor was in front of him, Xie Shen hurriedly greeted him and said, "Your son, Zhang Zibiao, has met you."

"No need to be polite."

Before Xie Shen could finish his words, the emperor waved his hand to interrupt him.

Although it is an imperial family, daily meetings are not like those in the imperial court, so the father and son do not need to follow all the red tape.

After entering the room.

Without the emperor's order, the eunuch moved a wooden chair in the corner to the center with quick and efficient movements.

But the emperor was sitting on the chair with a majestic posture.

He said to Xie Shen in a calm tone: "Tell me, what happened to you today?"

Xie Shen did not respond directly, but asked the emperor, "Father, what on earth was the skull that Grand Master Gang summoned in the court?"

Hearing this, the emperor suddenly looked Xie Shen up and down carefully.

He sighed unconsciously and said, "In fact, the more you know in life, the more tired you will be."

"I am not old yet." "It shouldn't be a problem for me to continue to sit on the throne for another ten years."

"In the next ten years or so, you just need to be a good prince."

"Don't ask too much, don't think too much."

"In this palace, there are people serving us every day, and there are all kinds of delicacies from land and sea."

"Isn't it nice to live like this?"

The emperor looked at Xie Shen.

He said meaningfully: "When the day comes that you take over from me, you will naturally understand everything."

"Then you won't be as relaxed as you are now."

“Cherish the present moment!”

Take your place?

Xie Shen recognized the emperor's voice-over.

He then asked, "So, Father, you have no intention of killing me?"

"Why should I kill you?" The emperor said as a matter of course: "It was not me who put you in the death row in the court just now, but the law of the Great Zhou Kingdom."

“It’s the rule.”

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"

he continued.

"I know you are refusing to make the sacrifice, and there may be another reason."

"You're not a fool after all."

"You knew you would be killed if you refused to offer the sacrifice, but you still refused."

"This means that you must have a hardship that is more important than life and death."

Good guy.

He really deserves to be the emperor.

I wouldn’t say he’s extremely smart, but at least his IQ is high enough when it comes to analyzing problems.

Since he was talking to an intelligent person, Xie Shen decided to be more direct.

He asked, "Father, regarding the sacrifice, I really want to know, who are we sacrificing to?"

"And there will be disasters sent down from heaven after you refuse to offer sacrifices."

"Where did the disaster come from?"

"Didn't I just say that?" the emperor emphasized again, "There are some things that even if you know them, you can't change the status quo."

“So instead of asking questions here and there and causing more trouble, it is better to be ignorant.”

"Just complete the sacrifice honestly, and then wait for more than ten years before taking over my throne and helping me govern the entire Great Zhou Kingdom."

"Understand?"

In order to attract the emperor's attention and at the same time to obtain more information from the emperor.

Xie Shen decided not to hide his incompetence anymore.

He flipped his hand and took out the small metal ball that Li Xiugang had given him directly from his storage bag.

That is, nano armor.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Shen took the risk and mobilized a very small amount of black mist from his body.

In front of the emperor and the chief eunuch, he activated the metal ball with black mist.

This moment.

But the small metal ball in Xie Shen's palm decomposed into countless metal fragments at an extremely fast speed.

Those metal fragments, which were not even as big as rice grains, quickly crawled all over Xie Shen's body like small insects.

The metal fragments kept squirming.

Finally, they gradually combined together and formed a set of bright silver alloy armor.

"How about it?"

After the armor was put on by itself, Xie Shen squatted down and tapped the ground lightly with his knuckles.

As Xie Shen moved, the bricks and stones on the ground began to crack.

For a moment, dust and sand flew everywhere in the room.

It was as if a sandstorm had just passed through.

"You, my prince."

Looking at the bright silver armor covering Xie Shen's body, the eunuch could hardly believe his eyes.

He was stunned and asked, "Was that a spell you just used?"

"That's it."

Xie Shen replied to the eunuch perfunctorily, and then turned to the emperor and asked, "So, now you can tell me the secrets of sacrifice, right?"

I don’t know why.

After seeing the armor worn by Xie Shen, the emperor did not show much surprise.

He just frowned and asked Xie Shen, "Have you seen anyone in heaven wearing this armor?"

Heaven?

Xie Shen took the opportunity to ask, "So there are another group of people living in the sky of this planet? And do they also have armor similar to mine?"

The emperor understood the hidden meaning of Xie Shen's words.

He then asked back, "From what you said, it seems that you have never seen anyone from Heaven? Wasn't the armor you are wearing given to you by someone from Heaven?"

"Hey."

Xie Shen smiled mysteriously.

Considering that the original owner Yan Biao and the emperor were father and son after all, and they seemed to get along quite well with each other.

So Xie Shen simply revealed more information to him: "What I have is not just this set of armor."

"As long as I have enough time to practice, I can easily fly into the sky, move mountains and fill the sea in the future."

in the room.

The emperor looked at Xie Shen with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He was probably thinking about whether everything Xie Shengang said was true or false.

This went on for about half a quarter of an hour.

The emperor stared at Xie Shen intently and asked him, "If I am willing to help you with all my strength and provide you with all kinds of cultivation resources, how long will it take you to cultivate to the point where you can fly, move mountains and fill the sea?"

Xie Shen sat upright.

He also thought for a moment before answering, "If everything goes well, it will only take about seven days for me to reach the foundation-building stage."

"And practitioners in the foundation-building stage are all able to fly with swords."

"So flying into the sky and hiding in the ground is not a difficult task for me."

"Besides,,,"

Then, Xie Shen added: "My armor has a built-in flying function. So if I want, I can even fly into the sky now."

"Only seven days?" Perhaps because of his excitement, the emperor couldn't help but speak faster.

He took a deep breath and said calmly, "Since you do have various cards in your hand, I will just say it directly."

"Our Great Zhou Kingdom is just a consumable material prepared by the immortals in the Heavenly Court."

"Consumables?" Xie Shen asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

The emperor explained: "I am not very clear about the specific meaning of the word 'consumables'."

"I only know that the so-called sacrifice has always been led by the Heavenly Court behind the scenes."

"As long as Heaven exists, sacrifices must continue forever."

"The people of our Great Zhou, as well as the civil and military officials in the court, will endure the torture brought by sacrifices for generations to come."
