Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 236: Filling in the blanks: The reason why unspeakable creatures absorb human emotions
"What is the problem?"

Before Li Xiu could speak, Xie Shen frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Diao, you don't think that Li Xiu would tamper with your corpse mountain device, do you?"

"Not to mention that you now have the strength equivalent to that of a cultivator in the Fusion Stage. Ordinary means can do nothing to you."

"Even if Li Xiu really has the means to subdue a cultivator in the Fusion Stage."

"But in such a short time, it would be too late for him to make any small moves, right?"

"Ha" After hearing what Xie Shen said, Diao Daoren suddenly laughed dryly.

He tried to smooth things over by saying, "I just said it casually, as a joke, please don't take it to heart."

Just as Master Diao finished his words, he saw the corpse mountain device floating in the air suddenly squirming and growing from small to large again.

In just a short while, the device returned to its original size.

While controlling the corpse mountain device, Dao Ren said to Xie Shen and others, "Don't worry."

"Let me try this improved corpse mountain device first to see if it can really extract a more refined immortal energy."

"If Li Xiu's improvement really works, then I will keep my promise and tell you how to make the corpse mountain device and how to transform humans into indescribable creatures."

"That's right." Xie Shen had great confidence in Li Xiu, and immediately patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, fellow Daoist, it's just a corpse mountain device. With my brother's ability, he can improve its performance by a lot with just a little effort."

Taoist Diao said nothing more.

Inside the translucent glass cover, he cast a spell and summoned a black mist out of thin air.

Supported by the black mist, a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage inside the glass cover was seen slowly floating in the air.

——The cultivator held up by the black fog was none other than Bai Pingwen, the ancestor of the Tianqing Sect who ascended to the fairyland three years ago.

That is, the host Mo Xiaolei's master.

As an invader, Xie Shen and Bai Pingwen did not have any real master-disciple relationship, so he just stood there and watched coldly.

I don’t know what methods that cunning Taoist priest used.

Under the gaze of Xie Shen and countless others, and shrouded in black mist, Bai Pingwen's body suddenly twisted rapidly.

Along with this distortion, Bai Pingwen's body actually passed through the glass cover directly.

This distortion method can make the target person ignore all obstacles around him, which is similar to the ability of virtualization.

After coming out of the glass cover.

Bai Pingwen's body quickly flew above the corpse mountain device.

At this moment, only a gurgling sound of flesh and blood squirming was heard from the corpse mountain device. Not long after the sound was heard, the countless flesh and blood that made up the entire corpse mountain turned into a bloody mouth and suddenly swallowed Bai Pingwen's body.

Followed by.

The corpse mountain device began to wriggle at a more intense frequency, just like the stomach of a living organism, digesting food.

That kind of wriggling made Xie Shen and others feel indescribably creepy.

After about three to five minutes, the monks felt a burst of extremely pure supernatural power surging out from the corpse mountain device.

This extraordinary power is neither spiritual power nor black mist.

This power is the unique "fairy spirit" on Qiuyue Star.

"what"

The moment the immortal energy gushed out, all he could hear was a very comfortable groan from Diao Dao Ren, who sighed with emotion, "The purity of this immortal energy is really strong! Li Xiu is really capable!"

this.
Seeing Taoist Diao's reaction, Xie Shen and other cultivators looked at each other at the same time, and all showed strange expressions on their faces.

"Ok??"

At the same time.

The cunning Taoist who was just enjoying the fairy air suddenly let out a light exclamation and said in a slightly flustered tone.

"wrong."

"There's something wrong with this corpse mountain device!"

talking.

Taoist Diao even raised his voice a few notches: "Thank you, Xie Shen, you are really something. You actually teamed up with Li Xiu to plot against me!"

Because Li Xiu did not discuss with Xie Shen before planning to assassinate Diao Dao Ren.

At this moment, Xie Shen was completely confused by everything that was happening before his eyes.

He was confused and asked, "What's going on? When did I team up with Li Xiu to plot against you?"

"Still pretending?"

The Taoist said sternly, "You have already succeeded and have tricked me. Is there any need to continue pretending?"

Maybe he felt the time was ripe.

Inside the combat power detector.

Li Xiu's emotionless voice sounded again: "Xie Shen is really not pretending because I schemed against you. He really doesn't know anything about it."

Xie Shen frowned upon hearing this and asked, "So you really plotted against Daoist Fellow Diao? Can you explain why you did this?"

"Hey"

After hearing what Xie Shen said, Dao Ren Diao laughed grimly and said, "Indeed. I also want to know why you would plot against me, Mr. Li."

Li Xiu replied coldly: "No way."

"Just because you are the only indescribable creature I have met so far that can communicate with humans."

"Your existence means a lot to us humans."

"So, for the sake of the future of all mankind, I must use tough measures to control you."

"You humans?" Dao Ren was very dissatisfied with Li Xiu's choice of words: "You said that as if I am no longer a human being."

“Although I transformed myself into an indescribable creature, I still retain my self-awareness.”

"I am still me."

"So why do you think I am not a part of the human race?" Diao Daoren questioned Li Xiudao: "If I am not considered a human, then what are the mechanically modified people who were born in a technological civilization and gave up their physical bodies? Aren't they also not considered human?"

Li Xiu's tone was still extremely cold: "Do you really think I don't know anything? I have spent nearly two hundred years studying indescribable creatures. I know exactly what kind of temperament this kind of existence has."

Upon hearing this, Xie Shen suddenly became interested.

He then cooperated and asked, "So what are the temperaments of the indescribable creatures?"

Li Xiu explained: "Just as Taoist Diao said before."

“Although the unspeakable creatures feed on human emotions, human emotions are not their most basic need.”

"In other words, even without feeding on human emotions, the unspeakable creatures can still survive."

"I came to this conclusion more than a hundred years ago through various research and analysis."

More than a hundred years ago?
Xie Shen listened and said thoughtfully: "We on Earth completely destroyed all the tower prisons in 6182 AD."

"After that, our Earth entered a 'golden age' that lasted for more than 40 years, and technology developed rapidly." "It was exactly a hundred years ago from the current year 6297 AD."

"In other words, Li Xiu, you conducted research and came to this conclusion during the Golden Age?"

During the Golden Age, the total population of the earth increased greatly, and the level of science and technology developed at an incredible speed.

Against this backdrop, it is understandable that Li Xiu was able to study and summarize the characteristics of indescribable creatures.

Inside the combat power detector.

Li Xiu responded, "A large part of the information I have about indescribable creatures was indeed researched and summarized during the golden age."

He continued: "After coming to the conclusion that 'human emotions are not a necessity for unspeakable creatures', I have been wondering: since unspeakable creatures will not die without eating human emotions, why do they still go to such great lengths to extract and absorb human emotions? What benefits do they get from doing this?"

It reminded me of the extreme enjoyment that Taoist Diao had shown after absorbing the 'immortal energy'.

Xie Shen guessed: "The reason why the indescribable creatures want to absorb human emotions is because they feel good doing so?"

"Smart!" Li Xiu praised Xie Shen and said, "These indescribable creatures really enjoy absorbing human emotions because it feels good."

"This can be easily seen from the feeling of euphoria that Taoist Diao showed right after he absorbed the immortal energy."

As he said that, Li Xiu suddenly asked Taoist Diao.

"Friend Diao, am I right?"

"Li Xiu, you are indeed not simple." Although Taoist Diao did not respond to Li Xiu directly, his words also gave a positive answer: "I believe you can also see that although I am a cultivator, I have also come into contact with many technological civilizations."

"This even includes the most powerful force in the galaxy, the 'Agent'."

"But even as powerful as the Agents, the scientists among them are far inferior to you."

Diao Daoren emphasized: "To put it simply, at least the scientists among the agents cannot study the temperament of indescribable creatures like you do."

"They just worship and serve the unspeakable creature."

"Stupid, foolishly loyal, hopeless."

"It's useless for such people to be smart."

"But you are different." Taoist Diao continued, "Li Xiu, even though I have only spoken to you in a few dozen sentences, I can already tell that you are different from others."

Li Xiu seemed completely unmoved by Diao Daoren's flattery.

He continued the previous topic and said, "Friend Diao, if I'm not mistaken, you should have been addicted to the human-derived substance 'Xian Qi' a long time ago, right?"

"Just like some other unspeakable creatures in the universe, they are addicted to human emotions."

"You have already completely become inseparable from the immortal spirit."

Are you addicted to fairy spirit?

Hearing this, Xie Shen suddenly realized, "No wonder Master Diao had already suspected that there was something wrong with the corpse mountain device, but he still wanted to absorb the immortal energy from it."

"After all this time, it turns out that it's not that his intelligence was forcibly lowered, but that his addiction to fairy energy has kicked in!"

"He couldn't help himself, so he activated the corpse mountain device regardless of the danger and took a deep breath!"

Xie Shen finally gave his evaluation: "It turns out that what you are doing, Li Xiu, is not a conspiracy, but an open conspiracy!"

"Even if all your plans were known to Dao Dao Ren, he would still jump in willingly!"

"You really never fight a battle you are not sure of!"

"Fellow Daoist Xie Shen is right!" After hearing Xie Shen's analysis, Daoist Diao admitted helplessly, "Just now, it was because I figured out the trick that I felt that Li Xiu was not a simple person. He really had calculated all the tricks!"

The two were talking.

Li Xiu only heard another word: "Since Taoist Diao has become addicted to the immortal energy."

"So even though he still has a sense of himself as a human being, even though he still feels like he is human."

“But an addicted human being can no longer be considered a complete person.”

"After all, what Diao Dao Ren has contracted is not a very common addiction that can be cured by willpower or special means."

"He's addicted to something that would drive even unspeakable creatures crazy!"

"He is just a human being on a spiritual level, so do you think he can quit?"

"That's why I treat the cunning Taoist priests with the same attitude as I treat unspeakable creatures."

Hearing this, Xie Shen suddenly had another question in his mind.

He said, "Since Diao Daoren is addicted to human emotions, there is one thing I can't understand."

"He's already obsessed with human emotions, so why would he ask us for game consoles and all sorts of other entertainment equipment?"

There was no need for Li Xiu to answer this question.

The Taoist said as if it was a matter of course: "Isn't this simple? Can't people who drink be good at gambling? Can't people who are lustful be good at drinking? It's true that I'm addicted to human emotions, but I can enjoy other things as well, right?"

It is true.

After hearing this, Xie Shen nodded and no longer felt conflicted.

Inside the combat power detector.

Li Xiu spoke again: "Alright, Fellow Daoist Diao, I won't waste my words with you anymore."

"I'll just say it straight."

"Given that your existence is extremely special and has considerable research value, it is extremely important to us humans."

“So I plan to cooperate with you.”

He made a condition: "As long as you agree to cooperate with me in various research, then I will regularly feed you human emotions to meet your spiritual needs."

"In time, if I find a way to fight against the unspeakable creatures, I will give you freedom again."

"how?"

"Do you think I have any other choice?" Diao Daoren said with a wry smile, "I don't know what you put in that corpse mountain device."

"After being restricted by that thing, the satisfaction I got from absorbing the immortal energy was reduced by at least three to four times."

“It’s torture.”

"Under this restriction, I can only choose to bow to you."

Ah? ?

Hearing what Taoist Diao said, Xie Shen was shocked and asked, "Is that all?"

"I thought Li Xiu had used some powerful means to make you unable to live or die."

"Or it directly threatens your life."

"After all this time, he just added some restrictions to you, reducing the pleasure you get?"

"Just like that, you bow your head?"

Xie Shen underestimated the drug addicts after all.
