Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 288 Too Cautious
Inside the Tower of Emotions.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness of Emperor Tianye.

When Xie Shen's spiritual consciousness entered it, what came into his sight was a huge cave with a length and width of more than ten thousand meters.

The top of this cave is not very high, and you can see countless stalactites hanging naturally from it.

Looking further down, there is a bottomless pool of turbid water, with faint silver-white light shining through from time to time.

I don’t know what the secret is.

Besides.

On the water surface of this cave, you can also see a half-transparent human figure.

——If nothing unexpected happens, this phantom should be the residual soul left after the death of Emperor Ye that Kongkong Taoist mentioned.

In the cave.

Seeing Xie Shen staring at the shadow of the Night Emperor in silence, Taoist Kongkong explained to him: "As the saying goes, when a person dies, it is like a lamp going out. Normally, when a person's body suffers a fatal blow, his soul will automatically leave the body and soon dissipate between heaven and earth."

"This is called death."

"However, Emperor Tianye is an exception."

"After his death, his soul was able to stay in the sea of ​​consciousness for a long time and never dissipated."

When he said this, Taoist Kongkong couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "It is precisely because of this that every time I entered the sea of ​​consciousness and tried to catch the indescribable fish over the years, I would be attacked by the remnant spirit of Emperor Tianye. It can be said that I suffered a lot because of this."

Does the soul linger after death?
After hearing what Taoist Kongkong said, Xie Shen couldn't help but ask, "After Emperor Tianye died, his soul remained indestructible. Was it because his cultivation was too high? Or was it because he practiced a very special technique?"

"I don't know about that." Taoist Kongkong shook his head and said, "If I knew the reason, would I have been stuck here for nearly a thousand years?"

Taoist Kong Kong stared at the remnant soul of Emperor Tian Ye and said, "Based on my continuous exploration over the years, I found that although Emperor Tian Ye's original body has reached the Return to Void Stage, he has never absorbed the power of the origin, and his remnant soul does not have self-awareness. Therefore, the combat power of his remnant soul is only equivalent to that of a late-stage Fusion cultivator."

"We are both in the late stage of fusion, so I can easily hold him back with just a little trick."

“When the time comes, fellow Daoist will take the opportunity to enter the pool below and look for the indescribable fish that Emperor Tianye has nurtured in his own sea of ​​consciousness and that can absorb human emotions.”

Do you want me to get in the water?
Out of caution, Xie Shen did not rush to respond.

There was a flash of confusion in his eyes, as if he was considering the possible risks involved.

In the cave.

Seeing Xie Shen floating in the air, neither speaking nor taking any action, Taoist Kongkong said anxiously, "Daoyou, didn't we agree before that after entering the sea of ​​consciousness, I will be responsible for holding back the remnant soul of Emperor Tianye, and you will be responsible for catching fish? Why are you suddenly hesitating now?"

"You should be able to feel it, right?"

talking.

Taoist Kongkong suddenly reminded Xie Shen, "The consciousness of Emperor Tianye is very strange. After we enter it, our mental strength will gradually dissipate over time, and in the end we will even be exhausted and pass out."

"It is precisely because of this characteristic that I just said that after a cultivator at the Spiritualization Stage comes here, he will probably not stay for more than ten breaths before being forced to leave due to exhaustion of energy."

"Although we, cultivators in the Fusion Stage, are much better than cultivators in the Spiritualization Stage, we also cannot stay here for long."

"so."

Taoist Kongkong finally urged Xie Shen, "Fellow Taoist, hurry up."

"I won't hurt you."

"You believe me!"

Just as Taoist Kongkong said - Xie Shen was in the sea of ​​consciousness of Emperor Tianye, and could clearly feel that his own mental power was dissipating as time went by.

After realizing that what the other party said was true, Xie Shen no longer hesitated.

He nodded decisively and responded: "You go first and hold back the remaining soul of Emperor Ye!"

"As it should be!"

Taoist Kongkong didn't waste time either.

After he responded, he immediately took out his life magic weapon from his purple mansion, which he had nurtured for who knows how many years.

——This magic weapon is a purple-blue jade flute with an ancient dragon pattern.

This jade flute is very strange:
Xie Shen clearly did not hear any sound from the jade flute, but strange flute sounds rang in his mind.

Xie Shen, who heard the sound of the flute, said thoughtfully: "Is this flute a treasure that specifically attacks people's souls? The sound it makes seems to only exist on the spiritual level?"

"Not bad!"

Taoist Kong Kong controlled the purple-green jade flute with dragon patterns on it and replied to Xie Shen, "This is a magic weapon that I spent a lot of money to get in order to deal with the remaining soul of Emperor Tian Ye."

"To this day, this treasure has been in my Purple Palace, nurturing for more than three hundred years!"

"That's enough." After responding briefly, Taoist Kongkong urged Xie Shen again, "Daoyou, hurry up and get in the water! Although my jade flute can hold back the remnant soul of Emperor Tianye, it can only last for about thirty breaths. You better hurry!"

"I understand!" Xie Shen glanced at the remaining soul of Emperor Tian Ye not far away.

Seeing that he was indeed bound by the sound of the flute, he no longer hesitated, and his whole body turned into a ray of golden light and instantly dived into the deep pool.

Although Emperor Tian Ye's sea of ​​consciousness is vast, Xie Shen is a cultivator in the fusion stage after all. It only took him a few breaths to reach the bottom of the pool. He saw a fish about the size of a palm, with a pure white appearance, and emitting a faint silver-white light from time to time.

"Fellow Taoist, how is the situation?"

As Xie Shen approached the silver-white fish.

Taoist Kong Kong, who was struggling with the remnant spirit of Emperor Tian Ye, suddenly sent a message to Xie Shen: "Did you see that fish?"

Xie Shen replied calmly: "I saw it."

"From time to time, the fish would emit a silvery-white light."

"Is that the fish?"

“Yes, yes, yes!” Hearing Xie Shen’s response, Taoist Kong Kong said with a hint of joy in his tone: “That is the indescribable fish left behind by Emperor Tian Ye.”

"remember."

He reminded: "This fish cannot be touched directly with your hands, but can only be wrapped with the power of the law, and then pulled back to the surface of the water little by little."

Is there really no fraud involved?
Looking at the fish emitting a faint silver-white light, Xie Shen replied directly to Taoist Kongkong: "Daoyou, it's not that I don't trust you."

"But as the saying goes, one should always be on guard against others."

"Considering that I know nothing about Emperor Tianye's sea of ​​consciousness and the fish swimming in it."

"So, I won't take this swimming fish this time."

Xie Shen explained to Taoist Kongkong: "In order to ensure that the process of obtaining the treasure is foolproof, in the next period of time, I plan to repeatedly enter the sea of ​​consciousness of Emperor Tianye until I am sure that there is no problem with this indescribable fish and everything is really as you said."

"Only then will I be willing to cooperate with you in taking the treasure."

"This should be okay, right?"

"You!!" Seeing Xie Shen acting so cautiously, Taoist Kong Kong was both angry and amused and said, "Fellow Daoist Xie Shen, isn't this a bit unnecessary?"

"Why don't you just take that fish now? Everything will be fine."

"Why do you have to keep dragging it out?"

"But the problem is," Xie Shen calmly retorted, "Since Daoist Fellow Kong Kong can wait for thousands of years, what's the harm in waiting for a few more days?"

"Row!"

I don't know what Taoist Kongkong was thinking. Seeing that Xie Shen refused to touch the fish, he stopped arguing and just urged Xie Shen in a bad mood, "Come up, hurry up."

Xie Shen surfaced as he was told.

He looked at Taoist Kongkong, smiled flatteringly and said, "Excuse me, Taoist friend, are we leaving now?"

"Why are you leaving? I'm not leaving!"

Taoist Kongkong cut his fingertip with a dagger blessed with magical power, and dripped a drop of blood from his fingertip onto the purple-blue jade flute with dragon pattern.

After doing all this, he threw the jade flute directly to Xie Shen as if in a fit of anger, and said with a hint of anger.

"really."

"Just like what you said, it's always good to be on guard against others."

"We are just casual acquaintances, so it is completely understandable that you are on guard against me and are unwilling to easily take that indescribable fish."

"but"

Perhaps he was worried that the remaining time would not be enough.

Taoist Kongkong spoke faster and continued to say to Xie Shen: "You are on guard against me, but I am not on guard against you."

"This jade flute is my life-saving magic weapon."

"I just dripped a drop of my own blood onto it. This way, you can temporarily gain control over it."

"I am now handing this jade flute over to you. You will be the one to hold back the remaining soul of the Night Emperor."

"As for me"

Taoist Kongkong, who was suspended in mid-air, looked at the turbid water below and said, "I will go into the water to get the fish."

"This way you can rest assured."

Well.
It takes some courage to hand over your life magic weapon to someone else.

After all, a cultivator's life-saving magic weapon is connected to his own life. Once it is damaged, he will be seriously injured at best, or his cultivation will drop or even his life will be lost.

So it is no exaggeration.

When Taoist Kongkong handed the jade flute to Xie Shen, it was equivalent to temporarily handing his own life over to Xie Shen.

See that Taoist Kongkong is open and honest.

Just now, his mind was still on the various intrigues of Xie Shen in the fairy tales on Earth. At this moment, he forced a smile and said with a bit of embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Kongkong, I..."

"Alright, alright." Taoist Kongkong waved his hand, interrupting Xie Shen and said, "I don't blame you."

"This matter is mainly because I am a little anxious myself."

"I really want to get that indescribable fish as soon as possible."

"So without further ado, I'm going to jump into the water."

"Thank you, fellow Daoist, you must help me hold back the remaining soul of Emperor Ye!"

Say it.

Taoist Kongkong jumped into the pond to look for the indescribable fish.

Seeing him enter the water, Xie Shen decisively activated the purple-blue jade flute with dragon pattern in his hand, and released waves of strange sound waves to entangle with the remaining soul of Emperor Ye that day.

...

At the same time that Xie Shen and Taoist Kongkong were searching for treasure in Emperor Tianye's sea of ​​consciousness.

Outside the Aldebaran star system.

In the vast starry sky of the universe.

A Galaxy-class starship belonging to the Agent Force is slowly flying towards the location of the Aldebaran star system.

Inside the starship cockpit.

Hardy Blement, who had just appeared in Aldebaran not long ago, was now bending over and speaking respectfully to a blonde girl in front of him.

"My lord, that huge blood-red translucent light shield in front of us is the blood-flesh spiritual light array that covers the entire Aldebaran star system."

"Although the defensive power of this formation is average, it has the power of indescribable creatures, and its recovery ability is amazing."

"No matter how much damage is done, it can be restored to its original state in an instant. It is extremely difficult to break through."

"In addition, there are several powerful people in the Fusion Stage and countless Spiritualization Stage cultivators in the Aldebaran Star System."

“That’s why we’ve had such a hard time taking it down.”

At this moment.

If Xie Shen and the bald man Gong Yelan were present, they would definitely recognize at a glance the girl with blonde hair and blue eyes standing in front of Hardy Blement. She was none other than the cold girl who had dealt with Gong Yelan and Xie Shen before on the planet called "Heaven".

Inside the cab.

After listening to Hardy Blyment's story, the blonde girl said with a look of understanding, "In other words, the reason why the Aldebaran star system is so powerful and difficult to capture is mainly because they have cultivated a large number of high-level monks. Is that what you mean?"

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Ha Dian nodded quickly.

"High-level monks often have a large amount of black mist in their bodies."

"The pollution brought by these black mists is like a bright light in the dark night, constantly attracting the attention of indescribable creatures."

"So, high-level monks have always been afraid of indescribable creatures."

“Especially nowadays”

"The great catastrophe of ten thousand years has arrived, and the indescribable creatures have become extremely active."

"In this case, as long as we can summon the indescribable creatures to the Aldebaran star system, those high-level monks will be afraid to use their weapons and will not be able to let go in the battle."

"In this way, we can take it down easily."

"Okay then." After receiving Hardy's suggestion, the blonde girl said without hesitation, "Pass on my order from Eunice Noel: All civilizations in the Milky Way that have surrendered to our agents must contribute at least 10,000 living people within ten minutes."

"also,,,,"

The young girl Eunice added: "To facilitate transportation, all civilizations that provide us with sacrifices can use the subspace channel for transportation."

"Did you hear that clearly?"

"I understand!" Seeing Eunice asking the question, Hardy nodded and responded quickly.

At the same time, he did not forget to carefully ask Eunice: "My Lord, may I ask what the indescribable creature you are going to summon this time is?"

Eunice said expressionlessly, "What I am going to summon this time is the indescribable creature 'Demon' that feeds on human fear."

"I understand." Hadi nodded and said, "In other words, I need to emphasize to the commanders of each starship that when killing those living people for sacrifice, they must be made to feel the most extreme fear possible before they die."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah." Seeing that Hardy understood immediately, Eunice said with satisfaction, "Okay, let's get to work!"

"Well, I'll take my leave now." Upon hearing that, Hardy hurriedly left the cab respectfully.
