Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 206: Filling the gap: Reasons for building the tower prison

The attitude of Li Xiu, Xie Shen and others has always been to never compromise and try every possible means to fight against the Unspeakable.

So whether to go or stay, the answer is actually very obvious.

Xie Shen then used his voice transmission to say, "Li Xiu, since we can leave at any time, should we just leave now or what?"

At this moment.

Although the atmosphere in the conference hall seemed a little tense for a while due to the instigation of the pocket recorder.

It seemed as if the crowd might rush over at any time.

But in fact, everyone present can be said to be a big shot in a certain force.

No one is stupid.

Therefore, everyone knows very well that if they are the first to rush forward in this situation, they will most likely be the first to die.

So everyone just kept looking around and pretending, but no one dared to be the first to step forward.

Seeing that everyone was afraid to fight and afraid to leave, Hardy immediately became more unscrupulous.

He looked at the Taoist master who was talking in a low voice with Xie Shen and others, and slowly said: "Fellow Daoist Shi, I will take good care of your friends later."

"What you need to do now is to finish your work quickly."

After being urged by Hadi, Shi Yinglong stopped talking to Xie Shen and others.

He first turned his head to look at Hardy, and then saluted to Xie Shen and others.

After doing all this, the Taoist Master left the conference hall without looking back under the gaze of countless people.

...

Seeing him leave, everyone present knew that the so-called ascension formation was about to be activated, so they became even more eager to move.

But still the same sentence.

Since these people are all bigwigs in a certain force, they are all very patient and cautious.

So no matter how anxious they are, they don't want to be the first to rush forward.

then.

In this subtle atmosphere, the ascension formation set up in the city of Plit was activated by the Taoist master.

As the formation gradually began to operate, a vague aura of terror suddenly descended and enveloped the entire venue.

After feeling the inexplicable terrifying aura, Xie Shen, Deng Bin and Yi Yuankui, who were all cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage, immediately had an epiphany in their hearts.

——The three of them could vaguely feel the terrifying aura coming from an indescribable creature.

The so-called Ascension Array seems to be able to attract indescribable creatures from far away galaxies to Aldebaran.

A critical moment.

Xie Shen knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he urged, "Li Xiu, it will be too late if you don't make a decision now!"

Li Xiu spoke decisively: "Xie Shen, Deng Bin, Yi Yuankui, the three of you should leave the area affected by the formation first."

"As for me, I will continue to stay at the meeting for the time being."

He explained: "After all, I am just an ordinary person. Even if I really die here, I can be resurrected immediately with the resurrection spell."

"So I am responsible for staying here to gather intelligence and see what this so-called Ascension Formation is all about."

"But," Xie Shen frowned after hearing this and said, "What if this formation will directly affect people's spirit?"

"It is indeed possible." Li Xiu analyzed calmly: "But this is just a necessary sacrifice, isn't it?"

"The Ascension Formation set up by the agents can attract indescribable creatures in an instant."

"Since this formation is related to an indescribable creature, it means that it has extremely high research value."

"So, I have to stay."

After hearing this explanation, Deng Bin also frowned.

He said from the side: "We can definitely use force to subdue that man named Hadi."

"Then we can force him to tell us the information we want to know."

"Or think of some other way."

"Is there no need to risk your life like this?"

Facing everyone's persuasion, Li Xiu was like a machine operating precisely.

He analyzed calmly, "According to Hadi, this Ascension Formation can bring strength to the Ascendant."

"So I guess there is a 90% chance that this formation will only affect people's bodies."

"In contrast."

"Considering that the Agent's technological level is far superior to ours."

"So according to my estimation, the probability that we can subdue and capture Hadi alive is less than 30%."

Li Xiu concluded: "So, with 90% to 30%, I choose the former! I have to stay to collect more intelligence."

"Just leave the formation as soon as possible and cooperate with me from inside and outside!"

"But" this time it was Yi Yuankui who came to persuade Li Xiu.

He said very quickly: "I believe the probability you estimated."

"But here's the thing."

"You stay here, and although there is a 90% chance that nothing will happen to you, if something does happen, and if you are affected mentally, then you will definitely be doomed."

"And if you leave."

"Even if we don't gain anything from this trip, at least we won't make any mistakes and there won't be any serious consequences, right?"

"No." Li Xiu shook his head.

He also replied very quickly: "Some things can't be thought of the way you think."

“This is a time of turmoil.”

"Your attitude of not seeking merit but avoiding mistakes is definitely wrong."

"After all, there are hundreds of billions of people standing behind us."

"And in the human seed bag that Gong Yelan gave me, there are also nearly 100 billion humans."

“These are all responsibilities.”

Li Xiu emphasized: "The indescribable creatures are too powerful, so our future path will be difficult and uncertain."

"So I don't want to miss any opportunity to study indescribable creatures."

“Even if this Ascension Formation is only suspected to be related to the indescribable creatures.”

"It's not necessarily true that we can really learn a lot from it."

“Then I still don’t want to miss it.”

At this point, Li Xiu finally urged Xie Shen and the others, "Hurry up and leave! Stop wasting time!"

"Take a step back and say it."

"Even if something happens to me, it will only be a necessary sacrifice."

have to.

Another necessary sacrifice, right?
Seeing that Li Xiu's old habit of being a research maniac began to emerge due to his thirst for knowledge, Xie Shen and others stopped talking.

In front of countless people present, three people successively used their magical powers to control light and flew directly out of the conference hall.

Perhaps it’s because of the relationship with Shi Yinglong.

When Xie Shen and the other two left, Hardy did not try to stop them. He just stood there quietly and remained silent.

in the hall.

Seeing someone able to escape unscathed, and Hardy remained unmoved the whole time.

A team led by two Nascent Soul cultivators exchanged glances and then fled together.

among them.

One of the two Nascent Soul cultivators who were in the lead used a very common magical power, controlling light, to escape.

The other one turned into black mist in an instant.

As for the other three Jindan stage cultivators remaining in the team, they either used escape techniques or sacrificed magic weapons.

Faced with life-and-death crisis, they all burst out with speeds no less than that of Nascent Soul cultivators.

However, at the moment these monks fled the hall.

Li Xiu and the others who were still at the meeting only heard bursts of explosions coming from the bodies of those cultivators. The next second.

Those monks all exploded and died.

At this point, no one on the field dared to go beyond the line.

...

At the same time.

Over the city of Plitvice.

Xie Shen and the other three who left the conference hall were now riding the wind, floating high in the sky, overlooking the earth.

Deng Bin was the first to speak: "How is it? Can you two see what the formation is all about?"

"I can't tell." Yi Yuankui shook his head helplessly and said, "Although my master Shi Yi is proficient in formations, I don't have any talent in this area, so I haven't spent much time on it."

Xie Shen also spoke from the side.

"Dunbin, you should know this clearly."

"I am better at cultivating spiritual herbs and plants, and refining elixirs."

"As for the formation, it is also at a half-baked level."

He analyzed the current situation.

"For now, we'd better not act rashly."

"Anyway, let's wait and see what Li Xiu has to say."

"Alas," Deng Bin sighed upon hearing this, "This is all we can do for now."

...

time flies.

Not long after the Ascension Array began to operate, Li Xiu's voice was heard from the combat power detectors worn by Xie Shen and others.

He said calmly.

"There seems to be some kind of signal blocking device in the conference hall I'm in."

"This means that my communication device can only contact you and the Ark."

"Let me briefly tell you about my current situation."

"Listen carefully."

Li Xiu slowed down his speech.

He continued, "The Ascension Formation can not only attract the attention of indescribable creatures, but also allow everyone in the formation to receive the blessings of indescribable creatures."

"Blessing?" Xie Shen couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." Li Xiu explained: "In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to let those of us who are in the Ascension Formation passively absorb a large amount of black mist."

"Thus, they accepted the contamination from the unspeakable creatures and gained power."

this.
Xie Shen was a little disappointed and said, "So this is the Ascension Formation?"

"Is it just to help people in a place like Aldebaran where the law ends, to absorb the black mist more easily?"

"That means we're all staying in Aldebaran."

"Since the Aldebaran star system has not yet been invaded by indescribable creatures, it is unable to generate any extraordinary power."

“That’s why black mist appears scarce.”

"If it were any other planet, who would lack black fog?"

Xie Shen finally gave his evaluation: "It seems that the so-called Ascension Formation is really useless."

"Do not."

After hearing this, Li Xiu corrected himself and said, "The Ascension Formation can not only allow everyone in it to absorb the black mist."

"It also has another function, which is to help everyone sign a very special contract with the indescribable creatures."

Sign a contract with an unspeakable creature?
After hearing this, Xie Shen asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Xiu explained: "The so-called contract does not mean that I actually signed some kind of agreement with the indescribable creature on paper."

“It’s just a metaphor I made.”

He thought for a moment and said, "Not long after the Ascension Array was activated, I suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment."

"As long as I serve the unspeakable creatures sincerely and help them exploit human emotions."

"Then, I will be able to gain benefits continuously from the process of serving."

"Like great power."

"The more human emotions I extract, the more good I gain."

Over the city of Plitvice.

After listening to what Li Xiu said, Xie Shen suddenly had an idea.

He showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and then analyzed: "After listening to you, I finally understand why the Agent built the Tower Prison on our Earth!"

"They are not meant to maintain cosmic balance at all."

"That's just an excuse for them!"

"Or maybe that's just one of their purposes."

"If I'm not mistaken."

Xie Shen speculated.

"The reason why the agents built the tower prison was mainly to please the unspeakable creatures."

"That is what you just said about serving."

"This way, they can take advantage of the opportunity to obtain the power bestowed by the indescribable creature."

Xie Shen continued his analysis.

"Due to our practice as monks, we steal power from indescribable creatures."

"Our power is stolen."

"So we will be hit by the backlash of this power, which is also called pollution."

"Compare to this."

"The Ascendants who used the Ascension Array and signed a contract with the indescribable creatures gained their power through serving and flattering them."

"That power was given to me by the indescribable creatures. It can be considered a blessing."

"So naturally, even if it's not theft, there can be no pollution, and there can be no side effects."

Xie Shen finally admitted reluctantly: "If everything is really as I speculated, then to be honest, Hadi really didn't lie to us."

"The Ascension Array can really give strength to those who ascend."

"The only drawback of this formation is that the process of gaining power comes at the cost of sacrificing ordinary people."

"After all, the Ascended Ones can only please the Unspeakable Creatures after torturing ordinary people."

“And thus be blessed.”

"And this is the real reason why we, the people of Earth, have been tortured for thousands of years!"

Among Xie Shen and other three cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage.

Since Yi Yuankui was born in the Tianyuan Star Immortal Cultivation World and had never been tortured in the Tower Prison, he did not show much reaction.

But when Dunbin learned the truth, he seemed a little angry.

He said with a hint of anger: "I don't know what you think, but I, Dunbin, will never compromise with unspeakable creatures."

"We can steal power from unspeakable creatures."

"But you must never bow your head and choose to surrender for the sake of power."

talking.

Deng Bin suddenly turned around and glanced at Xie Shen and Yi Yuankui.

Seeing that there was no intention of compromise in the eyes of the two, he turned to Li Xiu and said, "Li Xiu, it's not just me. Xie Shen and Yi Yuankui also think so."

"What about you?"

"You won't choose to surrender, right?"
