Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 266 Return: Leaving Perfect City

"Row."

Xie Shen nodded to Li Xiu and said with a complicated expression: "Although I have obtained the "Tongxin Minglu" technique from the world inside the bronze statue, I can directly transform the power of faith, that is, the power of indescribable creatures, into the power of law."

"But it still takes time to practice this technique."

"As I am now, I am definitely no match for the forces of Perfect City."

"I was surrounded by their people. I had to take a detour."

"So I definitely won't be able to rescue you in a short period of time."

"I know that." Li Xiu pushed his glasses up and said, "Although I had expected this to happen, I left a copy of myself on the Ark spacecraft in advance."

"But the human soul is unique."

"My clone will only inherit my memory and thinking patterns. Its subjective initiative is much lower than mine."

"so."

Li Xiu continued, "In order to prevent the replica from causing any trouble, I handed over the command of the Human Alliance to Zhuge Fu and the Brain when I left."

"From now on, the two of them will jointly preside over the overall situation."

"As for my replica, he will be responsible for continuing my unfinished scientific research projects."

Li Xiu finally added: "In addition, considering that Zhuge Fu likes to act on impulse, although he has a high intelligence, he has too little experience and can't really be independent. So when the two of them do things, you need to supervise them to prevent them from making mistakes."

"Okay, I'll write it all down." Xie Shen agreed to Li Xiu's request and said to him, "Then I'll leave now."

talking.

Xie Shen hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed to the monks present, saying goodbye: "Everyone, see you later!"

After saying this, Xie Shen sat cross-legged in the mental power amplifier and directly released the spiritual consciousness in his body.

With the amplified powerful spiritual power, Xie Shen's consciousness directly broke through the maze of the spiritual world and sensed the real body sinking in the sea of ​​laws.

This moment.

The cultivators who were watching Xie Shen on the top of Demon Mountain noticed that the area where Xie Shen was suddenly distorted inexplicably.

Along with the distortions, everyone seemed to see an endless sea in a trance.

Countless human souls were sinking in that sea. Among them, those who had reached the Spiritual Transformation Stage were mostly floating in the middle of the water, while those who were only at the Nascent Soul Stage, or those with a cultivation level below the Nascent Soul Stage, had mostly sunk to the bottom of the sea.

"That is."

Looking at the sea that appeared from the distorted space, the elder of the Demon Mountain Gate subconsciously looked at Qi Feihu.

The latter, with his back hunched, replied in an extremely old voice: "That is the true face of this world."

"Did you see the only soul floating on the surface of the ocean?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, that Dao should be Xie Shen's true form."

——It was as if the soul floating on the water could hear Qi Feihu talking.

As Qi Feihu finished his words, he saw the soul suddenly rise into the air from the sea and quickly transformed from a ball of light into the appearance of Xie Shen.

Xie Shen, who had awakened his true self consciousness, stepped on the sea with his feet.

He lowered his head, as if looking at the countless souls trapped in the power of laws below.

This went on for a long time.

Xie Shen, who was standing on the sea in a daze under the gaze of Qi Feihu and other monks, suddenly sighed. His body shook and he disappeared on the sea without a trace.

"This"

Seeing this scene, the Demon Sect elder looked at Qi Feihu again and asked, "Is he leaving?"

"Ah."

Qi Feihu nodded and said with envy: "He has transcended this world and returned to reality."

"A cultivator in the Fusion Stage is indeed extraordinary."

...

At the same time Xie Shen left the Sea of ​​Laws.

Perfect City, inside the Tower of Law.

Inside the workshop where the bronze statue is placed.

Looking at the security personnel who were blocking the Blood and Flesh Spiritual Light Formation, Lian Yu turned pale and said weakly, "I can't do it anymore."

"The weapons of the Perfect City are indeed powerful. Even this automatically recovering Flesh and Blood Spiritual Light Formation can hardly withstand its brilliance."

"This formation can only hold out for about half a day at most before it is forcibly broken by the power of the law."

Lian Yu looked at Qian Xiaqing who was standing beside him.

"Brother, why don't we surrender!"

“Although Li Xiu does have some skills, he was able to enter the bronze statue directly as a mortal.”

"But he didn't seem to be able to find Xie Shen among them."

"After all, it has been almost three days since he entered the bronze statue, but Xie Shen still hasn't woken up."

"If nothing unexpected happens, Li Xiu should have failed."

Inside the array.

After hearing what Lian Yu said, Qian Xiaqing, who was also at the end of his strength, nodded helplessly and said, "Okay then."

"Although if we surrender to the top leaders of Perfect City, we will inevitably be humiliated by them, and they may even deduct a lot of points from us."

"But no matter what, it's better than continuing to resist like this and losing your life in vain."

"That's the truth." Seeing that Qian Xiaqing was about to give up, Lian Yu hurriedly said, "Then let you talk about surrender, brother."

"I'm not good at speaking, I can't say nice things"

"If I were to come forward, I'm afraid it would only make things worse."

"Okay." Qian Xiaqing nodded after hearing that.

Now that both parties had reached an agreement, Qian Xiaqing decisively released his spiritual consciousness and sent a message to the security personnel outside the formation.

"Everyone, can you please stop?"

“Listen to us first”

"Hmm?" Hearing Qian Xiaqing's voice in her mind, the short-haired girl who was the team leader hurriedly waved her hand, signaling the team members around her to stop.

She shouted into the blood, flesh and spiritual light array, "What's wrong, two seniors? Are you not going to hold on any longer?"

"Fuck!" Upon hearing the short-haired girl's voice, Lian Yu said with dissatisfaction: "Qiu Tong's words are really irritating."

"What do you mean we can't hold on any longer?"

"She is just a mortal. She is only so arrogant in front of us because she relies on the technology of Perfect City."

"If she were outside, she would dare to do this."

"Humph!"

Lian Yu ended his speech with a cold snort.

After hearing this, Qian Xiaqing said kindly, "Brother, we are both under the same roof, so you should bow your heads when you should."

"If you want to blame someone, you can only blame us for betting on the wrong horse and Li Xiu and his team for not being able to get things done."

“It can’t be helped.”

The two were talking.

Suddenly, Xie Shen, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed in front of the bronze statue, suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked at Lian Yu and Qian Xiaqing, and said with a smile on his face, "Who said that Li Xiu and I couldn't get things done?"

"Haven't I come out yet?"

"Xie Shen? Are you awake?" Seeing Xie Shen awake from his trance, Qian Xiaqing was delighted and said, "Good, good, you finally came out." "I heard from Li Xiu before that you have reached the stage of fusion, right?"

"With your strength, can you lead us to escape from this perfect city?"

"It's hard to say." Xie Shen said uncertainly: "The level of technology in Perfect City is far beyond my understanding."

"As a cultivator, I don't have much confidence to face such a huge monster."

"So, I plan to escape through the subspace channel."

Subspace channel?

Qian Xiaqing was thoughtful when he heard this and said, "So you were able to come to Perfect City from Aldebaran by using the method of taking over another's body?"

"If that's the case, then your return to Aldebaran by taking over another body won't attract the attention of the indescribable creatures."

"After all, your return to Aldebaran is a 'return'."

“But it’s different for us.”

Qian Xiaqing emphasized: "As locals of Perfect City, our trip to Aldebaran is considered an 'invasion' and we will be attacked by the local indescribable creatures."

"Even if we can temporarily hide in a human body and take refuge by taking possession of another's body."

"But as time goes by, sooner or later, the day will come when you will be discovered."

"so."

Qian Xiaqing spread his hands and said, "You can return from the subspace channel, but the two of us can't."

"You just abandoned us after you used us."

"Xie Shen, fellow Daoist, isn't it inappropriate for you to do this?"

"You two don't know this." Xie Shen smiled and said, "My Aldebaran is a rare pure land in the Milky Way that has not yet been invaded by indescribable creatures."

"Because there are no native indescribable creatures in the Aldebaran star system."

"So even if you go there as an intruder, there will be no danger at all."

"Pure Land?" Qian Xiaqing was stunned again when he heard this and said, "Then if Lian Yu and I go there, there will indeed be no danger."

"but."

Qian Xiaqing continued, "As far as I know, the subspace channel is in chaos. Even a cultivator at the Spiritualization Stage can easily get lost when walking in it."

"So, does Brother Xie Shen have a solution to this problem?"

this.
Xie Shen originally wanted to say that as long as Li Xiu sat on the omniscient and omnipotent chair, he could help guide the direction in the subspace.

But the problem is that at this moment, Li Xiu has been trapped in the sea of ​​laws inside the bronze statue.

It was impossible for him to escape in a short period of time, so how could he help Qian Xiaqing and the others?

For a moment, Xie Shen really didn't know what to do.

"Xie Shen, can you hear me?"

Just when Xie Shen felt he was at his wits' end, he heard a pleasant but unfamiliar female voice coming from the combat power detector.

The voice introduced itself.

"It's me, the brain."

"You should still remember that Li Xiu made a mechanical body for me before, right?"

"After many upgrades and improvements, my current body has changed from a mechanical one to a biochemical one."

"To put it in human terms, my brain has also become flesh and blood."

The brain continued, “Although this body cannot absorb extraordinary powers and practice like a real human.”

"But using props like the Omniscient Chair is possible."

After hearing this, Xie Shen understood what the brain meant.

He said, "Why? Are you planning to sit on the omniscient and omnipotent chair and guide us like Li Xiu did?"

"You should be well aware of the side effects of sitting on the omniscient and omnipotent chair, right?"

"People whose willpower is not strong enough will be affected by that thing."

"You must think carefully before making a decision."

After hearing what Xie Shen said, the brain was unwilling.

She said dissatisfiedly: "Why? You look down on me, don't you?"

"Don't forget, I am a product of the laboratory."

"When the Europa Space Station crashed, you must have remembered the corpses all over the corridor, right?"

"I used my powerful mental strength to affect the minds of those people and then killed them."

"I'm not just any ordinary person."

"My mental strength and willpower are much greater than those of ordinary people."

"If Li Xiu can sit on that omniscient and omnipotent chair, then I can sit on it too!"

"Okay then." Since his brain said so, Xie Shen naturally couldn't continue to refuse.

He looked at Qian Xiaqing standing beside him and said, "You two should have heard it just now."

"When you enter the subspace later, your brain will act as a beacon to guide you."

"Of course."

"Although with the help of your brain, you can find your way in the subspace."

"But since the subspace is full of indescribable creatures and is extremely dangerous, you will still have some risks to a certain extent."

"Fellow Daoist Xie Shen doesn't need to remind me how dangerous the subspace is." Qian Xiaqing replied, "Brother Lianyu and I are both cultivators in the Spiritualization Stage after all."

"If we had retreated whenever we encountered a risk, not fighting for anything, not grabbing anything, then he and I would not have reached our current state of spiritual transformation."

"So, it's just a little dangerous."

“It’s nothing to us.”

No problem.

Hearing this, Xie Shen stopped talking nonsense with Qian Xiaqing. He mobilized the power of the laws in his body and easily destroyed the law bracelets that bound Qian Xiaqing and Lian Yu.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Shen waved his hand and summoned out the subspace channel.

He bowed to Qian Xiaqing and Lian Yu and said, "My two Taoist friends, please be careful. I will leave first!"

After saying that, he turned into a ray of white light and drilled into the subspace channel.

...

In the work room.

Not long after Xie Shen left, he heard the short-haired girl outside shout again: "Two seniors, didn't you just want to surrender?"

"How come it's been so long and the formation hasn't been removed yet?"

Inside the array.

After hearing the short-haired girl's noisy voice, Qian Xiaqing looked at Lian Yu with a sneer and said, "Let that girl continue dancing for a while."

"Now you and I are free."

"If I have the chance to return to Perfect City in the future, I will definitely teach her what it means to 'leave a way out for others'."

As he spoke, Qian Xiaqing also hurriedly imitated Xie Shen's method, urging the black mist in his body to tear open a subspace channel in front of him.

After exchanging glances with Lian Yu, he took the lead and entered the subspace channel.

Lian Yu followed closely behind.
